One of my favorite things to do during the holiday season is to go look at Christmas lights! If we only did one Christmas-y event the whole season hands-down it would be looking at Christmas lights. For me, it’s one of those moments that really capture the Christmas spirit – watching our kids “oooo” and “ahhhh” as flashing lights dance across their faces. It’s spreading the joy of the season, and dwelling in the gift of family.
Every year, we put the kiddos in their Christmas jammies, pop some popcorn, grab a thermos of hot cocoa, and load everyone into the car (listening to Christmas carols, of course!). Then we start our grand pre-planned tour! We don’t do all 12 houses because it would probably take us a couple hours, but these are our favorites south of the river! Enjoy!
