 A few weeks ago, we took a trip to my husband’s Castle Rock, Colorado hometown. He spent his childhood there from around elementary school age until he moved to college. He loves going back and has many fond memories of the city–one of them being the annual Star Lighting celebration downtown.

One of my favorite places to go during Christmastime is “castle rock” along the I-25. Every year, they have a big festival with great food, fun activities for the kids, and even fireworks. This is one of the few places that embrace Christmas instead of just calling it a generic “holiday.”
