One tried and true Christmas tradition our family has always honored,
was to drive around and look at Christmas lights.
The journey always begins with a trip to Dunkin Donuts for hot coco.
Afterward,
and since the children were very little, the hubs has always stopped on a side street,
then placed the hot chocolate on the car roof to let it cool off.
Funny what you remember...funny what you still do.
Our town always publishes a list of the "best homes"...
it was so fun to have Mike with us as we were able to honor this Christmas tradition.
The Grinch and Santa were out front, greeting all of the little ones,
and the not so little ones.
Can you see the animated Santa in the upstairs window?
Santa's here...
Find the items listed on the Scavenger Hunt,
the only rule, only one item per home!
It was close but the hubs won with 24, Mike was second with 23...
and I lost with 22!
- boo-hoo -

Debbie, what a great idea! Seems like so much fun...Merry Christmas to you and your family...:)jp
Oh the white house with the white fence was my favorite!
Wow so many wonderfully decorated homes.. The scavenger hunt sounds like fun.
You guys are so fun. We did a ride around one night with Liz, Nick and all the little boys. It was a blast...until Chase and Wade started wrestling in the back seat....LOL
Thanks for the pics, Debbie. We used to do this when the kids were small too. Sometimes we still do it... don't know about this year yet. Merry Christmas!
Debbie, What a great fun time. You and your husband are still kids too. Makes me smile. I loved seeing everything as I did not get to drive around as I thought I would get to , to try out my new fixed eyes. LOL. Blessing , Merry Christmas to all, xoxo, Susie
Wow !! It looks fantastic! I wish you a blessed Christmas and a lot of happiness in the New Year 2021!
Greetings
WOW! I like them all, but my favourite is the big white house with the white fence.
They are so cool and so nice they are all in your town and great that you waited for Mike so that he could come along. My favorite of them is the house with just white and red lights, and the lighted garland along the fence, just love it!! It always amazes me the amount of things people can fit in their yard :)
They all look beautiful! Take care, enjoy your day! Merry Christmas to you and your family.
That sounds like such a fun game to play as you look at homes that are decorated. I love that idea. I do think your area has a lot of Christmas spirit. I liked all the beautiful homes with their fun decorations.
Blessings and hugs!
Those are really nice light displays! I love having Christmas lights even though it's a huge pain to put them up.
I saw the first one.
good for you ruth, wishing you and chris a very happy new year!!
