Second Annual Search for the Best Christmas Lights

Last year we started a new tradition...
We headed out last night for our second annual search for the best Christmas lights displays.
Our friend, Katuschka, joined us this year.

We followed some of our own advice from last year...
- we did categories
- Dollar General always has something cute and cheap for the awards.

But we got started a little late again this year...

We got into our jammies in anticipation of the judges possibly falling asleep...

We drove around for quite awhile and began to wonder if most of the town also packed their Christmas decorations in the very back of their storage units...very few lights.

But we persevered and finally found some award worthy lights!!

This house won the 'Biggest and Best' for the second year in a row!! 

Seriously. Awesome. Lights!

This one had a penguin of lights on an island surrounded by blue lights and palm trees. 

Creative indeed!

This house had a HUGE Nativity scene complete with angels and birds. 

(You can barely see it there in the background) 

Clearly focused on the true Reason for the season.

We are enjoying this tradition and were again excited about the families opening their mailboxes today to find their awards!!

Tusch suggested having 'write in' cards for surprise lights along the way...we thought that was a great idea for next year!
