Sandi – Here’s hoping! :martini:

Becky – Yeah, he complained about driving and the flash going off every so often. Something about making it dangerous to navigate traffic. Who cares about safety around Christmas!??!!?!?! :wha:

J.O. – That is sad. Although, I’m contributing to bah-humbug this year since I didn’t go all out in my front yard like I usually do. Next year though… I’m going to be back at it and totally make up for this year!!! :yep:

Lisa – Can you imagine that bill? I mean, I use a lot of lights and we don’t have a ginormous bill… but then again, our lights probably aren’t even 1/8 of what those people have!

Crys – NO! From the coffee shop? Are you SURE you weren’t some place else by mistake and just THOUGHT you were at the coffee shop? :smooch:

Crazy Lady – Me too!!! :love:

TrishK – That is a GREAT idea! I wish I had thought of it years ago! :doh:

What a fantastic display!! Our family tradition is to do the drive on Christmas Eve. It started out as a way to get the kids to relax and fall asleep and just grew!

We’ve had the same tradition here every year since the kids were babies. I love driving around and seeing all the lights and decorations. My hubby is the same as Mike though and does NOT slow down long enough for me to take decent pictures. Just check out my facebook page and you’ll see the lovely pics I was able to take this year. Ugh. Anyway, I LOVE the Griswold house, but like Becky said, I’d hate to have that electric bill. Yikes!

There used to be a family here that went all out like that for Christmas. It was so fun to go drive through all the lights. You could see them from about a mile away. They quit doing them a couple years ago due to age and money.
It doesn’t seem that many have the spirit around here this year. There are only two houses on my daily drive that are decorated.

Well, isn’t Mike just a big camera Scrooge?! I LOVE the Griswald house, but I would hate to have that electric bill! That picture of Maggie is so adorable. Hope you all had a wonderful time.

Bwhahahaha I love the Griswald’s Christmas house. That is just too much.
I really like your family traditions. Maybe next year Maggie will stay awake through the whole thing
