This Little Light of Mine

Last night, following dinner, we decided to go on a little tacky lights tour in our area. It was actually really easy. I typed "tacky lights tour" into Google and found a web site listing addresses with major Christmas lights displays in every zip code in the world. Just scrolled down to mine and it provided a map for each location. I put a list together in about 5 minutes and mapped out a route. Then we headed out. Here is some of what we saw...

We started with this...the blue blinking tree in the front yard was an interesting touch.















This house had a lot going on...a train, a soldier, and a Santa on the front step that kind of freaked us out...
















This house we just happened upon and thought we should document it as an example of a tastefully decorated home (and to prove that such a home exists).

















This is a home in our neighborhood. They've gone a little crazy with the deer.












Also in our neighborhood, we found a house with a herd of ACTUAL deer in the front yard...


















This is the house at the end of our street. They really go all out for holidays. Halloween is also very big for them. And lucky for us (I guess), my kids are the only real trick or treaters they get.
















And this one wins the award for best house we found all night. These people really did it up.

















And finally, I'm sure you're wondering what our house looks like at Christmas. Well here are two pictures to give you an idea.

No, but I have seen houses like that. I think Midlothian might be on the low-tech side of things. :-)
