It therefore felt natural to write a third article on this subject after the <a href=\"https:\/\/floridaandbeyond.com\/en\/our-first-christmas-in-the-usa\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">2016<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/floridaandbeyond.com\/en\/christmas-in-florida\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">2017<\/a> editions. This year, the <strong>holiday season<\/strong> was punctuated by several small events in which we took part, such as the <strong>Christmas Bricktacular at Legoland Orlando<\/strong> and the magic of the town of <strong>Celebration<\/strong> during this period.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Now Snowing in Celebration<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you are in Orlando during this period, generally from after Thanksgiving until the end of December, go to this event because it is simply magical. The town is already charming by nature, but during the holiday season it becomes truly enchanting. An ice rink, illuminated carriages, and beautiful decorations quickly immerse you in Christmas magic. And every evening during this period, snow falls in Celebration, just as it \u201cfalls\u201d in different places across Florida during the holidays.<\/p>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1893506235286042\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-ad-slot=\"7722373008\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\" style=\"display: block;\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});<\/script><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/floridaandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/47317060_2001644049942578_3365302568010907648_o.jpg\"><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/floridaandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/47318041_2001643913275925_2806547380298579968_n.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Christmas Bricktacular at Legoland Orlando<\/h2>\n<p>Since our children are fans of LEGO, and especially of this park, we chose an annual pass, which is much more worthwhile when you live in Florida. After taking part in <strong>Brick or Treat<\/strong> for Halloween, we also did the Christmas Bricktacular. Special Christmas-themed LEGO displays are set up throughout the park, along with many seasonal activities. On weekends, there is also the lighting of the giant LEGO Christmas tree, with the famous snowfall effect on the audience.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/floridaandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/47471012_2001644813275835_7876835450948681728_o.jpg\"><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/floridaandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/47191731_2001644366609213_3257859030479011840_o.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">At preschool and at school<\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Preschool<\/h3>\n<p>As a family, the festivities started at the beginning of December with the children\u2019s Christmas show.

Decorations, events, local traditions, and activities for children are everywhere. Even after several years, it still remains something we enjoy discovering.<\/p>\n<p>This third Christmas in the USA also showed us how quickly new habits become part of our family life. At first, everything felt new and surprising.
