The most wonder display from nature

I take a nightly stroll around the Merry Christmas Village square with Mrs. Claus. Sometimes we are joined by members of the village. Often several snowmen, elves or even a some reindeer will join us on our stroll. It's usually very cold so we make sure we bundle up. With all the twinkling lights and the warm glow through the windows of the shops it truly is a fun walk to look forward to. I am so proud of how beautiful it is in the village at night! I think it's good that everyone take time to be outside everyday - even if it is only for a short period just being outside in fresh air is perfect exercise for the mind. If it's a very still night we'll often go past the village up a small snow slope that the snowmen have built (I think they call it the Snowbump Mountain) and look back across the village - a wonderful picture that I'll never tire of. You can often hear groups of elves singing together if it's a very still night.
Last night, we were joined by a large group of elves that had just finished their day in the poinsettia and mistletoe garden - (they're getting ready to uncover the poinsettia display in the Great Hall.) They were very chatty and excited about their upcoming show! In fact they were talking so fast that I couldn't understand a thing they were saying. But just as we arrived at the top of Snowbump Mountain there were dazzling white streaks of light that came across the sky. It was so bright that we thought the sun was back up! And just as fast as it came it was gone. Everyone became quiet immediately and we all just stared into the sky. We had just seen the start of a large meteor display. About 20 seconds later, another streak flew across. And there we stood for almost and hour watching the most wonderful display of nature. I sure you get the chance to see a meteor shower someday!
