Christmas is, of course, a magical time. You hear the holiday songs, you have (hopefully) started shopping for gifts, and maybe your living room is decorated with a tree. But if you find yourself feeling a bit Grinch-y this year, maybe heading to a Christmas festival in Connecticut is the answer. The month of December brings a countless array of festive events all over the state. One that just started this year but we already predict will be an annual family tradition is the Hebron Lions Lights in Motion Festival. This holiday light display in Connecticut is just the trick for boosting your spirits.
