Christmas lights...

Christmas lights! Saturday night we took my parents to see Christmas lights. We started the evening at Cici's Pizza which is my mothers favorite place to eat. Then we drove out to McKinney. Just west of Hwy 75 and north off Eldorado is a well lit neighborhood surrounding a county club. Many of the streets have themes to link the decorations from house to house. We then proceeded west on Eldorado to Frisco. This boom town has a fairly new and large town square which has been lit with millions of lights, or so it seems. The lights are rigged to "dance" to Christmas music which can be heard on a specific radio station as you drive around. The music can also be heard while strolling the sidewalks. We stopped and strolled awhile. It was a great evening!

I have loved Christmas lights forever. I fondly remember from childhood the annual decorating of the tree in the middle of our cul-de-sac followed by a party with the neighbors. Nearby another longer cul-de-sac was renamed Candy Cane Lane each December with decoations to match.

Someday, my own home will be decorated for others to enjoy....
