WONDERLAND AT ROSEVILLE

in #life7 years ago (edited)

Wonderland at Roseville has become a family tradition. First we attend Christmas Mass. Then we head over to this Christmas Wonderland.

located at:
226 Roseville Terrace, Fairfield, Connecticut 06824

Luckily this Little Wonderland is barely a two minute drive from the church. Yet people have traveled from all around the world just to experience it.

The family that lives here has been hosting this event for over 17 years. They do not charge a fee to visit, yet they ask that you make a donation to The Shriners Hospital for Children.

It is a wonderful experience. It's amazing to see how much effort was put into organizing creating this Wonderland.

Even more amazing, when you consider that for years, the only donation requested was for the Shriners Children Hospital.

Though this year they have added an optional donation box for electricity. Which is understandable when you see just how many lights there are.

Yet there is more to the wonderland experience then just hundreds of thousands of lights. The experience is a visual ecstasy.

It was nice. Somewhat peaceful and blessed. Thank you :)

What a wonderful tradition @dreamingirwin! The place looks magical! Resteemed.

It absolutely is. My niece came over to me while, I was taking pictures and said.... "Mom said she's cold".
Luckily she was in her car. Though my mom was driving with me. At twelve o'clock I sang happy birthday to baby Jesus. It was worth the cold.

Great family tradition. Seasons greetings

Thank you . I hope you are having a great holiday.
