My favorite part of the holiday season is all the Christmas lights.
I remember growing up, we’d go for drives and count the number of houses lit up for the season.
Those are some of my favorite memories.
Last week, The Nerd and I took a walk in downtown Frisco. I love the downtown area — it has the charm of a small town square, but the amenities of a larger city.
Each holiday season, the city sponsors Christmas in the Square, a display of Christmas lights on all the buildings in the square.
The lights are timed to music, and each weekend, a snow machine dusts the square in fluffy white flakes.
You know, since it’s Texas and it doesn’t ever really snow.
The Nerd was my photo guinea pig. Isn’t he cute?
It was really beautiful this year.
Are there any good Christmas light displays where you live?
Thanks for looking!
Ooh! Those look neat. A little far for us to drive, though. The closest place I know of for big light displays is Prarie Lights in Grand Prarie. It's a drive-thru display.
Frisco!
I LOVE Frisco! 🙂
I just discovered your blog! We have the typical "Christmas Tree Lane" that we take our kids to see with a couple blocks of homes decorated like the Griswolds. With a stop at Starbucks before for some hot chocolate, that is our tradition.
I live in the central valley of CA but am moving to Dallas in June, so we'll have to head up to Frisco this December and check it out. Thanks for sharing!
Hi, there! I just wanted to say hi, I found your blog blog – hopping, and that I subbed to your blog in my rss feeder. I'm a nerd, who's married to a guy trying to be a nerd! 🙂
There are a few houses near mine that really go to town on the christmas decorations. One of them does a different theme every year and it is amazing. They have collection boxes and people can donate to a children's hospital charity.
