Dancing Lights

One of our Christmas traditions is going out one night with hot chocolate and cookies in hand, driving around some of the neighborhoods to look at all the Christmas lights. This year one of the moms in Elliott's class was telling me about a house that has lights that dance to the music near the theater by our house. She promised that it was a must-see, and she was right. It was really cool (and a lot of work for someone). I noticed that besides the lights, it looked like the only other decoration in the yard was a manger scene front and center, which I thought was really neat.

I debated which video to upload (we caught two of the songs), because the second one was a version of the First Noel and you can hear Elliott singing in the background - love that. But I chose this one because I thought the light choreography was neater.





And the funniest thing, I thought, was that as we were driving by I looked into the upstairs window and saw this:


If you've ever seen A Christmas Story, you're laughing your head off right now.
