December 6th, 2014. Heritage Square Museum. Dave and I went to an reenactment of what it was like during the 1800 - 1900 in Los Angeles. When we first came into the first location, Father Christmas sat there telling stories. He really did an amazing job portraying that character. He was so knowledgeable on the era and anything related to Christmas and holiday stuff. The costumes everyone of the volunteers were pretty awesome. One of the first stops was in a type of dining room in a hotel where we watched people go about a holiday and talking business etc. Everyone is mingling and having fun when they decide to dance. They dance to Cotton Eyed Joe. I was actually happy and amazed, it seemed complicated because everyone was just dancing at a pace.The volunteers at the event actually made everyone dance too. So we all learned how to dance to Cotton Eyed Joe. It was really fun but I kept trying to catch up to what everyone was doing. It takes time for me to do these line dances. Haha.
The next house we went to for this Reenactment was next door. It's nicely kept and looked so awesome from outside. At this time I did notice a cat wondering around. Haha. I was distracted by it. O_O So we went into the house were we sang Christmas songs and learned about different holiday traditions from different ethnicities. In the next house we visited we played a games with the family in the reenactment. I can't remember to much on what else happened but I know it was fun. Haha. After this if was the end and we were taken to the refreshment area to leave. That's when I spotted the cat. Oh my, what a fluffy and cuddly cat. He was purrfect! I loved him. I petted the cat for a little bit then went exploring the store that was inside with Dave.
I never knew this place existed until that night. I'm really hoping to go for another event or doing the Holiday Lamplight Celebration again. It's definitely worth going. It was fun and I learned things I never knew about my city. :-)
