I love Christmas lights, so thought I'd share some of my favorites here at Tillie's Nest. The lights are a beautiful way to celebrate the birth of Jesus. The words from one of my favorite songs express how I feel about Christmas:
Christmas isn't Christmas, 'til it's Christmas in your heart
Somewhere deep inside you is where Christmas really starts,
So give your heart to Jesus, you'll discover when you do,
That's it's Christmas, really Christmas, for you.
Longwood Gardens was an annual trek for me when I lived in the D. C. area. I'd pick a Sunday afternoon and drive to Pennsylvania, getting there just before dark.

A couple of weeks ago, I was in Sioux Falls, South Dakota and they do a great job of lighting the park and the Falls of the Big Sioux River.

In Tulsa, the Rhema Bible Church used 2 million lights (many LED) to make a gorgeous display of everything Christmas. Great fun to stroll around the park.
