Festival of Lights....sort of

Every year at some point during the week of Christmas, our family gets in the car and drives all around town to look at how people have decorated their homes with Christmas lights. It always puts us in the mood for the holiday and it's fun to see some really pretty decorations...and unfortunately some pretty tacky ones. This year we noticed a lot of lights, but not too many had that 'wow' factor. Here are a few homes we passed....

Ooh, there's a package on their front porch! ha ha


This Weeping Willow tree looked so pretty, especially with all the snow!!


This house seemed to have a tree in almost every room!!


Every bit of decor here was illuminated....it was pretty yet strange!


Countdown to Christmas clock....6 hours, 8 minutes 15 seconds to go!


Right off the Hollywood movie set...well...sort of...


They even had these chasing lights cover their driveway...wow!


Classic...much prettier in person


This house is enormous...and I have to say I thought they 'under-did' it. They could have made it look amazing with so much more....


Next year we'll head on over to another neighborhood that has always impressed us. We wanted to go see our old home this time, so we went a different way. Unfortunately, the only lights on our old home, were the ones inside....boring! We still had a blast though and although I had my husband pull the car over a million times for photos, I think he still loves me. ha ha ha!
