Llamas and Concerts and Santas, Oh My!

In Habersham County, the lights glow bright,
With llamas? No—wait, maybe—they’re out tonight!
There’ll be concerts and Santas and parades on the way,
So bundle up warm for the holiday fray!

On Friday, December 5, at Mitchell Gailey Park,
The tree lights will twinkle, igniting a spark.
From six until eight—oh what a delight—
Families will gather beneath the seasonal light.

Then come Saturday, December 6, at five-thirty-ish,
The annual parade begins—really quite swish.
Hosted in Baldwin with “The Music of Christmas” in theme,
Floats, carols, and cheer—it’s a community dream.

On Monday, December 22, when the sun starts to wane,
A Candlelight Walk through the park shall remain.
With gentle lights glowing and soft winter air,
A stroll through the county will trim holiday care.

Pictures with Lllamas bring holiday cheer —but hey,
If they wandered through the concerts, I say “hooray!”
Because what’s Christmas without a little surprise,
A giggle, a sparkle—or maybe two eyes?

The concerts will play, the Santas will roam,
In whatever the venues across Habersham call home.
We’ll sing songs of stockings, and sleigh bells will ring,
And celebrate kindness that this season will bring.

So mark your calendars, don your festive attire,
From tree lightings to parades to walks by the fire.
Habersham’s alive with the ho-ho-hope of December,
And memories made now, we’ll long remember.

And if llamas do wander—just smile and say “Hi!”
Because in Habersham this season: Christmas is nigh!
So join the fun concerts, the Santas, the lights,
For joyful nights, warm hearts, and seasonal delights.
