Saturday Snapshot- Lights!

 One of the traditions my family has enjoyed for quite a few years is going to a nearby Christmas light village.
 When you come upon it from the road it is such a great sight, with lights spread out in front of you and reflecting off of a pond.
 Some people even prefer to just drive by and see it from the road instead of walking through it, but my children enjoy walking through and seeing all the lights up close.
There are lots of decorated windows with scenes behind them and places to buy snacks and hot chocolate or visit Santa.

We went last month and had a really nice time walking around.

    Great pictures! What fun for the kids! I'm not sure why you can't enter the linky on my site? Are you accessing my blog through a reader like Bloglovin or Feedly? I use Bloglovin and I know that, with certain blogs, I have open the post outside of the reader to be able to leave comments.

    I love this time of year with children. Sadly mine are grown and want to stay indoors and watch Dr. Who on the TV rather than go out and look at light displays. Sigh.

    Looks very nice, it's great that you can get out and walk around and do things like get hot chocolate or whatever. We have a lighted Christmas drive but they don't have the snackies or the decorated windows. Those are a nice touch.

    One of our Christmas traditions is to go for a ride on Christmas Eve and look at the Christmas light displays. It goes way back to the time when our kids were small and so excited that they were bouncing off the ceilings on Christmas Eve. A ride in the car always helped them settle down a bit ... Happy New Year and thanks for reminding me of those hectic and happy times!

    I've never heard of a Christmas light village, but can see why the kids love taking a peek.

    Fun! Most of the Christmas light displays in our area are meant to be driven through. I like the idea of close-up displays to enjoy with a walk.
