I wasn’t sure what I was going to do when my fiance told me he wanted to go to Birmingham for Christmas, and i knew he grew up in AL, & I also knew he missed his friends.
- I loved winter season in the Northeast, & I had consistently spent my holidays with my parents, but when my fiance told me he was about to be deplotted , I knew he wanted to go house & spend the holidays with his family, however he told me it was frigid during the winter, however it was nothing like what I was used to.
We had the furnace on from October until May. People from Birmingham had their furnace running at night, & through the morning, and the residual heat would have lasted us throughout the entire fall-like morning, however they thought it was cold. He told me my pal and I could go ice skating in the park, & have supper in an Igloo. He also said about going to the Birmingham zoo, & taking a Zoolight Safari, however one night, my pal and I were going to take a ride through Shadrack’s Christmas Wonderland. He said you drove through the 12 afternoons of Christmas where the lights danced to the songs in your car. He said my pal and I had to take a pair of 3-D glasses to watch the lights, & I would never want to see Christmas lights any other way. I asked if my pal and I could have the windows up & the Heating, Ventilation, & A/C heat running? He laughed & asked how the lights would dance to our songs. I figured they would dance to everyone else’s songs.
