At the beginning of the month, I visited Ohio to see my parents and to relax. The festive season was just starting, and they had a cold start to the month of December. I did not visit for too many days, but it was enough to enjoy some time with them and to have a couple of days out. On one of the days, we went to the Amish country, and the landscape looked beautiful in the snow.
The snow came the first day I arrived, and it did not get above freezing, so the snow lingered. Below are some photographs taken in the Amish Country.
While in the Amish Country, we went to The Jam Smucker Company outlet store. The outlet store will be closing in January. We got some Christmas gifts here and had a browse around. There is also some information about the history of the company, which is noted for its jams and jellies and other brands, such as peanut butters, coffees, and pet food.
We also went to a hardware store on the way back and looked for more Christmas gifts, and we also went into a chocolate store and a large gift shop and grocery store before heading our way back home.
The sunsets are beautiful in this part of the world, and it looked even more magical with the snow.
I also had a couple of festive drinks before watching the new "Wicked" movie in the cinema.
On the way from the airport, we had a quick stop at Newark court house to see the wonderful Christmas lights. It was just getting dark when we drove through.
I also had a hot chocolate with a "Peeps" Christmas tree. "Peeps" are marshmallows covered with sugar, and they do different shapes for the season.
I enjoyed my visit to Ohio, although it was a fleeting trip as I had spent almost a week in New York City before that.
