It's been our tradition for a few years now that on Black Friday we visit Longwood Gardens and take in the seasonal extravaganza. The 2021 exhibit is exquisite. "Fire, Ice, and Everything Nice" is the theme this year, and the centerpiece of the show is the ice room featuring glistening icicles hanging from the vaulted ceiling. The reflecting pool beneath showers subtle nuances of light and sounds of bubbling fountains through the conservatory, bathing the expansive rooms in soft reflections and magical whimsy. The holiday display is always a novel experience that fills an evening with memories that blossom into holiday cheer.
