One of my of my favorite holiday traditions has always been packing the entire family up in the car on a cold December night, wasting gas, and driving around ooing and awwing at the Christmas lights on everyone's homes! I can't tell you how many hours I have put in throughout my life reveling in inflatable santas, multicolored light bulbs, and fake snow! The hard part? Finding the best neighborhoods!!!! Now, with the economy being as it is....and who can blame someone for not wanting to shell out a few extra hundred dollars for electricity when we all have presents to buy.....and amazing Christmas light display is quite hard to come by. Trust me, I spent hours in my car last night with only a few notable neighborhoods to mention.
Here's a few of my favorites from last night. So tonight, pack the kids up, get snacks in the car, fill the tank, and head to any of these neighborhoods to enjoy a great show.
*Pretty much the entire neighborhood behind the Las Cruces Feild of Dreams. A ritzier division of Las Cruces, and they obviously saved in their budget to put on such a great display.
*Drive anywhere along Hillrise off of Telshore and turn into any neighborhood....the displas may be only one or two houses on any given street, but the displays I saw were worth the drive.
*ah, Picacho Hills. One of the nicest neighborhoods in Las Cruces. And their displays are some of the best I've ever seen. But a word of caution...stay along Picacho Hills Dr.......from there you will see all worthwhile displays...and you won't end up lost and driving up and down the saem road 15 times like I did!
And here's a pretty awesome display I found thanks to the interwebz, just to get ya in the mood:-)
