I could stare at Christmas Lights forever, they are just beautiful. We have went driving around our town 3 different times so far, and havent made a dent in seeing all the homes. There is one housing track that everyone on every street decorates their house. They even hang lites from the homes across from each other, everyone drives up and down all the streets with their car lights off. Some of the homes are playing music, there was one lady and her husband singing and playing piano for all us lookie loos. It is almost overwhelming, but gorgeous. Thanks all for sharing the links.
WOW.... Thanks so much for the compliments you guys are great!!! The only problem is that half of the lights are under the snow and the ones that you cant see (in the trees) I cant light up because the circuit keeps blowing. I am so glad you could all come out. I didnt know it was even on the news and I cant seem to find us on their.
Yes I was the one putting them up a few months ago.. LOL...I start Nov 1st and light up is Thanksgiving night every year. Well thanks again everyone...Heather & Manny
We usually go to Bright Nights in Springfield MA, but this year we wanted to try and find something similar in New Hampshire, or in the Boston area. Does anyone know of anywhere that does a display of lights like this park does in Springfield? It is set to Christmas music, and you drive through this huge park that is dressed with Christmas scenes all lit up to Christmas music. It takes about 30 minutes to drive through, and it is amazing!
One of my favorites here in town (Londonderry) is on the corner of Kendall Pond Road/South Road. All areas in the yard are decorated with lights, inflatables, and other decorations. Very pretty reflecting into Kendall Pond at night. Visitors are welcome to park and walk along in the yard, there is a sign (disclaimer) that you do so at your own risk. I'll try to shoot some pictures next time I go by at night.
One of our traditions is to get a list of all the places that we HAVE to see, fill our travel mugs with hot cocoa, and get out there to see. We try to wait until there is a coating of snow on the ground--sometimes Mother Nature cooperates (like last year!) and other times it's bare... either way though, it's a great way to feel the spirit of the season in a totally non-commercial way!
are these posts all from last year??? If so, does anyone know of any good displays THIS year in the Manchester/Candia/Raymond/Auburn/Chester area? I'd love to go for a drive next weekend for my Birthday with my son and my boyfriend and check out some nice displays!
Most of them are from last year jackiedoodle, but I've noticed that people who have invested in TONS of decorations and lights and inflatables tend to put them up year after year after year, and they just keep getting better. I didn't think to start the thread until 12/17/07, pretty late in the season. The person who resurrected it (thank you!) did it early enough so that when we see something to share, the thread is right here and waiting
It looks as if they are not doing it this year though....the one in Raymond. I went to the website and it says they will not be having their display this year. : (
