Christmas Ships in Portland, OR

Every Christmas, watching the Christmas Ships with my family is a tradition. You can watch them from various places throughout their time in the Portland area.

It always amazes me to see how many people are willing to take the time and money to dress up their boats and parade them around the river for all to see. It's good to know that there are still people who invest their time in others and their happiness.

If you get a chance to go out this year (the weather for previous years has definitely been better!), take your wife/husband and your kids down to watch the Christmas Ships come in and sail around. They're really beautiful!
