The Great Christmas Light Scavenger Hunt

 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...

and here!



All of the homes pictured are in our town, the people here have a lot of Christmas spirit.

This year, we played a Scavenger Hunt Game, it was really fun.
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 -

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!

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 :)

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.
