Christmas lights



What a wonderful season - and beautiful lights. I love how everyone decorates their houses this time of year - and shares it with their neighbors. Don and I took a ride the other night - and found glorious lights everywhere.

We have not taken our annual drive to look at lights, maybe tonight. It looks like you found some good ones.

This is the best fun. I just love the light displays. And they always look lovely when there is snow on the ground, too. We have lots of homes decorated with lights here, too, but because it is Summer you don't get to see them properly until after 9 o'clock when it starts getting dark. Still worth a drive, though!
Thanks for the lovely photos.

We were surprised how few people put lights up this year, both in our little town and in Bismarck. From what people were telling me in the store, everyone is running way behind this year and just skipped the lights.

It was fun seeing the ones in your area :o)

I'd forgotten that people did that. I'm glad I am not paying the electric bill. We can see this kind of ilumenation in shopping areas.

Those are fantastic, I love the little train. Thanks for sharing them, it has been many year since I went looking at outside christmas lights. Blessing for Christmas.

Oh this brought back wonderful memories of doing this every year when our kids were growing up! Why is it we've forgotten this great tradition? Thanks for the reminder. ~Lili
