What a fun time with friends & family❣️ Love that you showed us what those trippy glasses do. I’ve never heard of them either – must look for a pair down here as this location needs some Christmas deco! 💕
That was a wonderful evening!
And the trippy glasses were the icing on the cake.
Cool photo effect with putting your glasses on your camera lens. I am off to try that now. 😀
What fun!! It looks beautiful. I want to have tea there. I hear nothing but great things about Butchart Gardens from my mom who has visited a couple of times. It’s on my must not miss list if I ever get up there. I’m looking forward to your images and thoughts on it with trippy glasses. 😀🎄
Such a pretty place to visit. I like the decorations and your dinner with happy companions looks delicious. A good time was had by all, as they used to say.
This looks like such a fun and festive time. I’ve seen/heard of those trippy glasses before. Honestly, when I’m driving at night, all the street/car lights look like that and I swear I don’t take drugs!
I love the Tea room and I could see myself lounging with the Teddy Bears in their room; SO pretty!
I’m looking forward to heading there in 2022 for high tea…hopefully it will be fully open for visitors at that time. It hasn’t been, due to the pandemic. Thanks, Suz 💕
Hi Deb – great to see you all enjoying yourselves … and always fun to see the joy you and Donna (and Richard) are having – love the lights and then my special one – the gingerbread human! Such fun – cheers Hilary
Deb, I have been to Butchart a couple of times, but never at Christmas. I can’t even imagine how beautiful it must be. Can’t wait to see your photos. Cool glasses.
Lovely festive photos Deb, thanks for sharing. Looking forward to your pics of Butchart too as been finding the festive lights somewhat disappointing round hereabouts. They look amazing in the centre of London, but too crowded for us!

I’d never heard of them either but they were selling them at the gift shop at Milner Gardens! Thanks, Del 💕

Psss! Donna ~ where’d you find ’em? Whisper if you don’t wanna give a secret away. Promise I won’t tell a soul! 😘
Yes, it was! I wasn’t sure it would work but I’m glad it did. Thanks, Donna 💕
How fun! And such a lovely display..
Yes, they did a great job at Milner Gardens. Thanks, Rivergirl 💕
That’s a true Christmas celebration! Lots of decorations and fun!
It is fun to see, at this time of the ever-increasing dark! Thanks, Kate 💕

Easy to do because it was so magical! Thanks, Leslie 💕
I love a place where you can walk through to see the holiday lights! How fun!
It was so much fun that we are doing it again next weekend (different place though). Thanks, Kari 💕
Beautiful photos. I would have been in Christmas heaven.
