Christmas Lights For All To See

Guest post written by Joseph Finch

We tend to spend the last two weeks leading up to Christmas traveling our neighborhood, and the many surrounding neighborhoods, looking at everyone's Christmas lights and decorations. This is a fun activity for our family of three little girls. Their enjoyment comes from seeing the lights, the nativity sets, and the Christmas music we listen to along the way.

The girls get excited when they find out that we are going to spend the night cruising around looking at christmas lights. It is nice that evening comes a little earlier this time of year and we can get an early headstart. We recommend setting the home alarm system from Security Choice before setting out to see the Christmas lights and decorations. It is important to keep all those Christmas presents safe! We are usually back in plenty of time for the girls to keep to their bedtime schedule. If we are really feeling adventurous, we let the girls wear their pajamas during the ride. They really like this!

We have some local businesses that create huge attractions which enable people to drive through miniature forests and villages that are lit up with thousands of lights. The girls love the animated lights such as toy soldiers marching or the train that goes down the track. This is a simple enjoyment we do to make Christmas as special as possible.
