Many families have traditions for this time of year.  Some bake cookies while others shop on Christmas Eve.  I like to do something a little different.

Since I was a kid I have been fascinated by lights.  Not just Christmas lights, but all kinds.  I loved lights so much that I bought the white one and put them around my dorm rooms when I was in college.  I think it created a cool ambiance in the room.

One of the things we used to do when I was a kid drive around looking at people's Christmas lights.  At the time we lived in the Twin Cities so it was crazy to see  how some people went all out, but it was so much fun.

I still enjoy looking at Christmas lights now.  What about you?  What are some of your holiday traditions?
