Have a bright and merry Christmas!
Several neighbors on a nearby street go all out with Christmas lights and inflatables every year, and we enjoy crawling past with our headlights dimmed to take it all in. This is my favorite display on the block.
It’s a fantasia of colored lights that run vertically up a large tree and turn to dripping icicles at the tips of the branches.
A rainbow of miniature Christmas trees adorns the lawn, and colorful rivulets spill off the eaves of the house onto bushes below, splashing them with bright color.
The tree even wears a skirt of banded light.
I love the creativity of the display and look forward to seeing it each year. And I look forward to seeing you next year, dear reader. Happy holiday wishes to you and your loved ones, and I’ll see you in 2015!

Neighborhood lights are a fun holiday tradition. This one is awesome and beautifully done. I hope they see this and know how much their work is appreciated.
Enjoy your holidays, see you in 2015!
You can never have too many lights. Or music. Or be tacky when decorating for Christmas. Okay, I take that last bit back.
I love Christmas lights. These are great. Lots of work there.
Have a Merry Christmas.
It is too cool…love the way the lights flow on to the ground!
What a very colorful display! Merry Christmas Pam!
Such fun display! Have a wonderful Christmas!
MERRY CHRISTMAS! LOVE THESE LIGHTS!
Santa hats off! What a display! That’s an especially nice touch with the colors “dripping” off the roof. I too hope your neighbors are aware of how widely appreciated their efforts are. I can’t imagine how many people it took (or how long) to get this sort of a display organized.
From pre-Trail of Light Days I still remember making the drive up Congress Avenue as a child to see the lights and the tree on the Capital grounds. Everything seemed so magical then, and if I squint just so? It still does.
Happy Holidays!
That’s a gorgeous display and it must take quite a bit of time to plan and execute! Hope you have a very merry Christmas!
Best wishes for a merry Christmas Pam!
Fantastic!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas and thank you for your gift of a wonderful blog.
That’s a great display and a great send-off, Pam. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Enjoy all the light displays.
Wow! I´ve never seen so many lights in one garden…they really take it seriously!
Beautiful!!!! I love the lights- favorite thing to do as a child was ride around and look at all the lights. Wonderful post!
We live at the end of a country road, so no lights like this, but this is deep sky country and the stars are magnificent.
Those lights are AMAZING!
Happy Holidays, Pam – All the best to you and your family in 2015 and Always 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
We have as usual the single strand outlining the front porch, while our neighbors are devotees of the more-is-more style. I love what your neighbors have done with that large tree — I can’t imagine climbing/laddering up our parkway jacarandas to string lights, but that would be magical. Happy holidays, Pam!
I’ve never seen someone do lights on the ground like that. Beautiful work!
