A Home in my Area that has an Outstanding Christmas Lights Display, Synchronized to Music, December 2012
There are a few homes in my immediate residential area in and around Snellville and Lilburn, Georgia, of which the owners have decked out their residences with amazing and breath-taking displays of Christmas lights. In past years, there have been two homes, in particular, at which the Christmas lights have been extremely impressive and enjoyable. Just this year, I located another home that has an outstanding display of Christmas lights, and it tops my list for my immediate residential area.

I have taken opportunities this year – as in past years – to tour parts of my area to scout out, view, and enjoy homes with Christmas light displays. Before Christmas, I was able to take my son and family on an outing to enjoy one such Christmas Light Tour. It was great to view the displays, express our “Ooh” and “Ahhs,” and identify the parts of the displays that we liked the best.

That was also an opportunity for my dad to tell my son about the Christmas light displays he fashioned, painted, and made in his younger years when I was just a baby or toddler. It was good for my dad – and for me and my mom – to tell my son of what we remembered about my dad’s own festive and creative Christmas lights displays. My dad recalled that for three consecutive years in our small town in Western New York State that he earned the winning cash award for his displays. He also remembered that the competition was discontinued when it was realized that no one could defeat his artistic craftsmanship. For that, he is very proud, and he was able to share that pride with my son.

Similarly, I can imagine the pride and joy that is felt by those home-owners who adorn their own houses and yards with 100s of Christmas lights. There are so many lights that fill the darkness that one can see their glow before even arriving in view of the homes. I have been able to personally express my gratitude and appreciation to two of the three home-owners at which my favorite three Christmas lights displays can be viewed. The third home-owner is a professional contractor whom I have not yet met, though a number of photos of his displays are included within this article.

Another Festive Display of Christmas Lights in my Local Area, December 2012
While my family has our own small display of Christmas lights that we can view in our back yard from our dining room picture window, we very much appreciate and enjoy everyone’s festive and decorative Christmas lights for the holiday season. Most especially, we appreciate all of the time, effort, creativity, expense, and love that is invested into the most impressive of all of the Christmas lights displays. I take the opportunity whenever I can during the holidays to view and enjoy these displays with my son and family.
