After that, I wind through a number of neighborhoods
to satisfy my daughter’s love of multicolored lights. Some of the houses are so
decked out that I hate to think of what the home owners’ electric bills must be
like.
But the trip wouldn’t be complete without a drive by
the brown Cape Cod with the lifelike Santa and his sleigh and the huge hot air
balloon with Rudolph inside. It’s been a favorite of ours for years.
Where do you go to look at Christmas lights?

I love Christmas lights, too. There's an entire neighborhood in town that goes all out, every house for several blocks is decked out with lights for a couple of weeks at Christmas time. The streets are blocked off to through traffic, so thousands of people walk through admiring the lights and displays. It's wonderful, but I always wonder about those electric bills.
ReplyDeleteLike many towns, we have a "Christmas Tree Lane" - a neighborhood that bands together to light up the night (with a train that travels ten feet off the ground around the streets). I'm practical, like Patti, and wonder about their electrical bill.
ReplyDeleteThese days, we like to seek out the houses who have their lights coordinated to music.
