Winter Festival of Lights

Monday, November 7, 2011
When my children were small, we would travel to Wheeling, WV. to see Oglebay Park's Festival of Lights. It's not far from us, about 40 minutes. They loved seeing all of the beautiful color light displays and especially entering the twinkling snowflake tunnel of lights.

At that time, now I haven't been there for a few years, you tuned into a certain channel on your radio, and  listened to Christmas music as you drove through the park, with just your parking lights on.

It's a six mile drive through the park resort, and 300 acres. Oh, they would get so excited when they found out we were going to see the lights!

About half way through the park, we would always stop at the Christmas shoppe, because mommy loved looking at all of the Christmas decorations, and they could take a bathroom break too! We would get something to drink and then continue on in awe of the colorful displays.

This holiday tradition began in 1985 and went from covering 125 acres with lights and five displays to 300 acres of lights with seventy four displays today.

Every year, several new displays are added. In 2008, the new displays were using LED lights and the existing light displays were gradually going to be converted to LED lights.

The new lights would use 85% less energy and last five times longer.

There's no admission charge to visit, but donations are appreciated. Since 1985, The Festival of Lights has grown into the nation's largest holiday light show attracting more than a million visitors a year,

including 3,000 tour buses from more than 36 states! This is why I'm glad my children are grown now because I really couldn't sit through the wait to get to the top of the hill to get into the park!! You would need to leave early in the afternoon for the big wait to see the lights!

Barbie Christmas Ornaments

Wednesday, November 2, 2011
Wow, this Barbie sure brings back memories! She was the ponytail barbie that I had as a child. She came out in 1963. I so wish I still had her. I had other barbie dolls and Ken too. Loved them all. Did any of you collect Barbie dolls?

My niece collects the Christmas Barbie ornaments.



She's been collecting them since she was 2 yrs. old.

  2008 Celebration Series

Her grandmother, my mother, bought her first Barbie ornament for her when she was just 2 yrs. old.

  2005 Celebration

 2006 Celebration
 2007

  2000, 1st in the Celebration Series

She is 20 yrs. old now and has 18 Barbie ornaments. Before the Celebration Series, was the Holiday Collection. This is what she started with.


1993 Barbie Holiday. Isn't she beautiful!
  2001 Special Edition
  2009 Celebration
  2010 Celebration

Mom bought her one ornament each year for Christmas for many years and now she buys her own and continues to collect them.

  20011 Celebration

Do any of you collect Barbie ornaments or have a collection of Barbie dolls? I've been looking around on the internet, and you wouldn't believe the prices of some of the vintage ornaments...$150.00 was one eye opener for the 1993 Holiday, the first one....yikes! She's the one in the beautiful red dress above.

Have a wonderful week!
