Lights, Lights EVERYWHERE

Mike is working late this week preparing for an Off-site, so the children and I have been going out looking for the best lights in the area. We have found that our very own neighborhood really has the most lights; but we’re still exploring. Wow – it’s a wonderland.

In our driving around we ventured to parts of town we’d never visited before – or at least parts we didn’t’ recognize at night! We finally found the river and the city’s light tour. It is amazing. We will be going back with Mike and our company in December. There are huge light displays all up along the side of the river – looking even more spectacular as they reflect in the water. The major theme is “12 days of Christmas” but there was a huge nativity scene done in lights. There were also big bill board greetings along the route from various businesses and many wishes for a wonderful CHRISTmas. The tour eventually led us by our County Courthouse that has a big nativity set on the front lawn. While you drive you can listen to Christmas music on an FM station and greetings from various civic leaders and pastors in town. It is all very well done...all for only $3 a car.

You would think with the varied selection of Christmas music a great traditional Carol would have gotten fixed in my mind…but NOOOO…..I can’t get “Grandma Got Ran Over by a Reindeer” out of my head.

Our Nikon is due back today; we’ll post pictures from our next trip.
