Another Tradition: Christmas Light Looking

Does anyone else do this?! In our family, we drive around on Christmas Eve and look at Christmas lights. Of course we rate them on a scale of 1-10 with the hopes of finding that one house that surpasses the highly coveted 1st Place rank. This is a tradition that started LONG ago when I was a little girl. We would all pile into Uncle Danny and Aunt Suzy's van and drive around The Island looking for the house that decorated with lights the best. We of course sang Christmas carols at the top of our lungs and honked at the houses that stood out among the rest. One year we even spotted a Santa wrapping gifts in an upstairs window. Christmas is such a special time of year, we thank God for sending His son to earth as a baby and showing us the love of a family.
