Last night, we ushered in the end of the holiday season - and 2023 - by creating what might be a new tradition. We attended the Winter Lights event in North Andover. Sponsored by the Trustees, the Winter Lights is a series of three places in Massachusetts that are set up on Trustees land where Christmas lights and Christmas music are set up.
We had planned to do this last year, but a cold, icy mix prevented that from happening. However, this year, we were more than delighted to attend. And it was well worth it. Although finding the actual parking lot proved tricky - we ended up going in a wily back way that someone even followed us to (which would have proven a back way in to the event) - once we arrived, we were mesmerized by the lights. They were phenomenal.
The lights spanned the property of what is called the Stevens-Coolidge property. They lights came complete with different thematic music (such as a Let it Snow or a Peanuts Christmastime in Here theme). They served refreshments for a nominal price. And you could even go into the mainhouse, which was an old style summer cottage mansion on the property.
Overall, it was a beautiful night and a great way to usher in a new year. And I think we may have started a new tradition.
