Tonight, our family of 3 piled into the car for our first annual Christmas tour of lights. We enjoyed the hard work of homeowners across Chicago's northwest suburbs.
Here is what we found:

Tackiest Tree


Ugliest Decor


Best Display


Joel made his great grandmother's delicious hot chocolate recipe to sip along the way as we listened to our favorite Christmas songs,here is our top 4 Christmas song list:

1. All I Want for Christmas is You by Mariah Carey
2. Christmas Canon by Trans Siberian Orchestra
3. You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch
4. O Come, O Come, Emmanuel by Bethany Dillon

thanks for the pictures...its good to know what the haldeman standard is for adequate holiday lighting...

although i do think that the one you named "tackiest" display picture was a bit out of line...it is actually kind of cute...
someone was feeling jolly for the holidays, and chose to express themselves with k mart light fixtures...what is wrong with that, guys? come on!

Anyway, keep the blogging coming and we will try to do the same!!

miss ya!!

i like the last one. Where did you see it? I hope you found lots of good lights. Were you able to see the lights in the park on Arlington Heights Rd?
