Lighting up the dark nights of December

In my younger days, driving around looking at Christmas lights was a tradtition. Now that I'm old and alone, I don't really do it anymore. But I went to see The Hobbit yesterday with my sister. We wanted to see it in IMAX 3D so it was a long drive. Which was great for a recluse like me. Lots of Christmas lights on the way home and my sister was driving so I could really enjoy them. Would never do this myself, but I do love the over the top displays.
