One of my favorite things about Christmas is seeing the decorations everywhere I go. It's so much fun to see how some people decorate simply, some go all out, and some opt-out completely. I love walking around the mall and seeing the giant decorations, or driving down a street to see every single house lit up. It's just so festive!
I'm so excited to one day have our own house that we can decorate for Christmas, but until then, I make it a point to make a little date out of going for a drive and looking at all the houses around us. If you do something similar, but want to change it up a bit this year, grab some friends and go on a Christmas light scavenger hunt! Bundle up, grab some hot chocolate (or wine, you know, whatever), and head out for a night full of taking pictures and listening to Christmas music. Bonus points if you dress your dog up and bring him with you--that's my plan.
Drive around until you find:
A house using only white lights.
A sleigh.
A nativity scene.
A snow globe.
A snowman.
Blinking Lights.
Candy Canes.
Decorations that involve music.
Decorations that have nothing to do with Christmas (You know, like the house that will decorate their entire yard with Mickey Mouse. Not Christmas Mickey, just Mickey).
Fake snow.
Lights Spelling out a word.
An elf.
Rudolph and his buddies.
Rooftop decorations.
Santa.
The nutcracker.
Oversized gift boxes.
A house where the lights are out.
Are you planning on going to look at Christmas lights this year?
