Thanksgiving break in Waxhaw

Haven't spent much time in Waxhaw proper (read "historic downtown Waxhaw") during the much-appreciated Thanksgiving break.

With family in town, we decided to hit Mama Lena's on Wednesday evening rather than cook dinner before the big dinner. I must say that place was hopping. I believe every table was seated, but perhaps not surprising given the date.

A significant portion of the next three days was devoted to putting up the Christmas lights and decorations, inside and out. I did run out of some supplies so had to hit Ace for a little Black Friday shopping in the late afternoon.

My son & I stopped briefly at the Festival of Lights, but dinner was cooking, so we couldn't stay to see the show. But we were there long enough for him to score a Christmas glow stick and candy cane lollipop, so he was happy. For those interested, the town's put up some photos on their Facebook page (they're accessible without a Facebook account).
