Camp Christmas

We saw Frozen II this evening and it was good! I think I like the first one better, but maybe I just need to see this one a few hundred more times for an accurate comparison.

This morning we headed to Denver and Camp Christmas.

Sponsored by the Denver Performing Arts Center, and designed by one artist, 

 The originating artist, making tiny spun sugar trees to fill the giant white tree frame on the right

it’s described as "an over-the-top holiday extravaganza as big as the season it celebrates."

“Over the top” is an understatement.

It was big, bright, bold, colorful and fantastic.

There was something for everyone - 

 Mid-Century Pink was a bit much

historical perspective,

holiday factoids,

faux sleigh rides,

holiday stories

 Story by Louisa May Alcott
and sooooooo

 The Victorians loved their Egyptian decorations

much more.

Even a demon bronco that Addy refused to go anywhere near.

My favorite part, hands down, were the pun trees.

You may need to enlarge the pics to get these. 

So bad. So funny. 

So well done. 

Definitely worth the hour drive, just for the puns. PLUS, we got holiday hats. Doesn’t get much better.
