Going to see Lights On The Lake tonight

Tweet

There is a lake in my town with a large walking/bike trail going along side it. The trail is about 2 miles long. It's nice in the summer to walk along the trail next to the lake. But during the holiday season they turn this trail into Lights On The Lake. They put up tons and tons of light displays, many of them are animated. There are things like rudolf jumping over the trail, so while you drive under it he's jumping right over your car. There's gingerbread men, plenty of elves. Even a light display of Santa. There's also a huge display of a castle, the display is the size of a house. In each window of the castle is a different character, like some reindeer, or elves, and Santa and Mrs. Claus kissing under the mistletoe. Not to mention the houses that are on the opposite side of the trail than the lake are also all decorated, and let me tell you, these houses are worth millions since they're on the lake, and they put up a pretty impressive light display themselves!We've gone every year so long as I can remember, and it's always been enjoyable. The cost is about $8 per car for over 2 miles of light displays. Your entry fee also gets you admission to the nearby Native Museum which puts on a small display of Christmas from around the world, and Christmas through out history. Then there is also some forts that have stood there since the 1800's or so when there was a battle... well I don't remember the details of it, I believe the French were involved as well as the Iriquois. It's best to see this light display when there is snow on the ground, and we've recently had a foot or so of snow fall, so hubby suggested we go do this tonight. I'm looking forward to it. Does your town do anything like this? Do you have a special place you visit each holiday?
