Mike and I set out this evening for the most spectacular Christmas light displays in our neighborhood, and saw the same two houses we always see decorated.

This house in the old historical district really upped it’s game this year by adding Santa and his reindeer to the roof and blindingly blue lights to all the evergreen trees.

The angel house is a family favorite and I’ve been going to see it every year since I was a kid and every year we can’t figure out what street it is on, but we only took one wrong turn this year.

We took Ollie with us, and you can hear Mike and I start to argue the last few seconds of the video over who had a hold of him since the window was open.

Are there any over-the-top light displays in your neighborhood? Are you the Griswald family? I hope to be when we finally get a house. I want to be the brightest house on the block from November through January!
