Christmas Lights - A Drive Around Town Tour (17 photos & a gif)
Twas a foggy night and time for the annual "Drive Around Town and Look at Christmas Lights Tour". I don't get a lot of practice with night time photography but I was pleasantly surprised with how these turned out. So follow along as we tour my small town and see some of the Christmas displays.
I like the sign out front reminding Santa that he needs to stop here. He is a busy man and I guess they want to make sure they don't get overlooked. 🎅
It seemed like overall there was a little more of a subdued nature to most of the displays this year.
Here are three examples of a less is more approach to holiday lighting. Low-key but still expressing the spirit of the holiday.
This one has a little more going on but not too over the top in my opinion. Also with the brighter display you can see some of the fog surrounding the lights. Below is a gif of the same house showing the motion lights in the trees.
My personal favorites are the displays with colored lights that have a deeper darker look to them.
A Christmas M&M in the wild. 😉
Understated but a nice variety of colors.
This display was some lights in the tress out in the yard. Well done in my opinion. 🎄
A bit of a brighter display.
The Santa Bear in the present went up and down and the candy canes behind him would change colors. I tried to catch these actions in a series of photos for a gif but unfortunately things did not work out well. lol.
Whether you celebrate Christmas or not I hope you enjoyed our little tour of the holiday light displays in my town. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all! 🎄🎅☃️

Hello @oldmans

Thank you for sharing your excellent post in the Silver Bloggers community! As a special "token" of appreciation for this contribution to our community, it has been upvoted, reblogged and curated.
One big difference between the UK and the USA has always been decorations outside. The UK has become so fluffing PC it is pathetic and now places don't even decorate for fear of upsetting non Christians.
Great to see these, so thank you, and thank you for posting in our Silver Bloggers community in 2023! Merry Christmas 🎅🎄
That's too bad. There needs to be more tolerance in the world.
Merry Christmas to you! ☃️🎅🎄
Merry Christmas, Bill!
A blessed and joyful Christmas to you and your family 🤗🎄
Thank you very much and a very Merry Christmas to you and yours also!🎅🎄⛄️
