It was a 45 minute ride from Hershey.
The unlit winding country road leading in was dark with a lot of hills.
When you come over the last hill on that dark country road...
this is the view, only better...it took my breath away.

The greatest Christmas light display in the U.S.A.
It was freezing cold that night so I had to wear the cute boots!
I'm not completely sure I needed them,
but I did not feel like fielding all the questions from strangers about why I was wearing flip-flops.
The outdoor display includes themed, enclosed glass buildings.

There were many more that I did not photograph!
There was also a display of vintage sleds of all kinds.
I really enjoyed all of these!

As we left the display, we pulled over to get a few more pictures.
The hubs found information on this wonderful Christmas Village on-line.
Koziar's Christmas Village
Koziar's Christmas Village
Mr. Kozia started this Christmas tradition for his young family 70+ years ago!
The brochure I picked up.
You really have to see it to believe it!!
Oh wow!! Mr Kozia certainly knows how to do Christmas lights and displays, doesn't he. I cannot imagine the work, effort, imagination, engineering and love that has gone into all these glorious sights! Such a magical Christmas wonderland. How fabulous to go there there and walk around soaking up all the spectacle....truly amazing!
ReplyDeleteAs "Christmas approached, the town became gorgeous".
ReplyDeleteChristmas song flows, and a roadside tree is displayed with gorgeous neon.
I am excited just to walk the town. "

Wow!--you go down a long dark road and then come upon that SCENE!!-- that is stunning! that is one amazing light display. Y'all look so cute in your pictures, I love your scarf! So, how long did y'all stay?--does it take long to see it all? So many neat displays, really something for everybody. I've never heard of this place, so I'm so glad you shared it with us.
ReplyDeletethanks debbi, it took about 2 hours for us, we took our time!!
DeleteHello, what a beautiful display of Christmas lights. Lovely festive decorations, the train garden is wonderful. Cute photo of your two with the Gingerbread man. Enjoy your day!
ReplyDeletewow...that is a COOL view
ReplyDeleteAmazing, what more could one say. That first view when you top the hill is over the top (no pun intended)You look really cute in your boots and yes like others I have wondered why the flip flops in the winter. All those sleds, who would have thought there would be so many different kinds. Thanks for taking us with you.
ReplyDeleteBe still my heart; how very very beautiful, Debbie. And, I know it must have been so cold, hence the boots.
ReplyDeleteThere aren't many days that I don't wear flip flops. :)
Thank you SO much for always sharing your beautiful photo's, my sweet friend.
xoxo
I should say the same thing...be still my heart! What an incredible place to go for the holidays! The lights are spectacular...I showed the pics to my hubby. He lived in PA years ago and I asked him where this was. Beautiful! Love your pic with the Gingerbread man. Hope you didn't run away with him! heehee! Holiday hugs!
ReplyDeleteThose lights and displays are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThat's quite a place, SO Christmassy and full of color and light.🎄 I smiled about your flip flop comment, I'd wear them year round if the weather would cooperate. I do indoors!
ReplyDeleteI hope your Christmas is memorable and magical!😂
This is very impressive!
ReplyDeleteThat looks spectacular. I found a couple of videos on YouTube, so I will be checking them out.
ReplyDeleteThose are a lot of lights! And a big gingerbread cookie!

Great shots! Happy Christmas!
ReplyDeleteFlip flops - lol!!! I love my cozy boots. Wow - this place is unbelievable! What a beautiful display. I love the photos by the side of the road - quite a sight to see!
ReplyDeleteEnchanting! A feast for the eyes! Photos help you take it all in when you get home.
ReplyDeleteAmazing :) I like Santa's sleigh :)
ReplyDeleteI do wish I could see it! That is just amazing. I bet it was so much fun to see it all.
ReplyDeleteJust WOW!
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Wowzers!
ReplyDeleteOh Wow how cool is that, we went to something that we saw when we came over a hill, but I truly can't remember where it was, this looks like it could have been it but wow that was 18 years ago so I am sure things have changed over the years. I really loved the room with the antique sleds :) Love your boots :)
ReplyDeleteJust too gorgeous! What an achievement for the Koziars. I am WILD about those old sleighs and buckboards and wagons and buggies! xoxo
ReplyDeleteThis does look like a spectacular place to visit. I can just imagine that it would be a fantastic experience to actually be there. I loved looking at all the phtoto and of your two smiling faces. I was fascinated by the Raggedy Ann Ice Cream Parlor, the Country scene and the vintage sleds and sleighs. It amazing that this was started 70 plus years ago.
ReplyDeleteBlessings and. Hugs!
Absolutely stunning! We are going to a Christmas village here in Florida, but not until Christmas week...it will be a little too late to post anything from there! But I probably will anyway. Hope to put up a new post this Sunday, it always takes a couple of weeks to get my act together after we get here.
