Winter Wonderland usually closes on the first Sunday of January. That last night is a bittersweet affair.
The lights still twinkle, the music still plays, but there’s a sense of “one last ride” in the air. People are a little more emotional, a little more generous with their shared hot chocolate.
It’s a beautiful kind of goodbye. You’ll leave with a full belly, tired feet, and the faint scent of cotton candy on your scarf.
