Last night we went to A Very Furry Christmas at Sesame Place. We weren't going to go, because it was an extra fee. We already bought our season passes, and it seemed silly to spend an extra $15 a person to go at Christmas. As it turns out, I'm really glad I didn't follow my first instinct. I was sincerely impressed with the Christmas-ness of it all.
Walking in, we were greeted with dozens of sets of these lighted trees
There was a ginormous tree in the center, complete with a light show timed to Christmas music.
We met a few of the kids' favorites. Cheeky Monkey was pretty wary of them, and wouldn't get close unless I came with him.
After we visited with the Count, we got Monkey saying "One ... Two ... Ahhhh."
He was absolutely fascinated at the Elmo show. Every time Elmo left the stage, Monkey got very concerned. "Elmo?" He looked around and called for Elmo until we reassured him that Elmo was coming back.
It was even a holiday-themed show, complete with Hanukkah and Kwanzaa bits.
Gummy Bear was really interested in the set afterwards. He was sad that the piano didn't actually play, though.
There were lots of themed tableaus, and Bear took advantage of every one.
I was truly impressed by the lights, lights, lights everywhere we went. I'd be curious to know how many lights they used throughout the park.
We even, you know, went on some rides. Somehow, they seemed secondary though.
MOAR LIGHTS!!!!!
The tickets we bought yesterday are good for the rest of the Christmas season. I think there is a very real possibility that we'll be going again. Hurrah for schmaltzy Christmas revelry!
