Crazy Christmas Lights

It should come as no surprise to you that I love the Christmas season.  Any of you who know my mother can easily determine her most decided influence over my feelings and approach to all things Christmas.  For those of you who aren't blessed enough to know my mother...well, you can just ask the people who have been to her house during the Christmas season (which, incidentally, begins slowly on the first weekend of October and builds to the crescendo the day after Thanksgiving).

It's tradition to put on our pajamas on Christmas Eve (or as close a day to it as possible, since we're sometimes traveling then), bring some blankets and hot cocoa, and hop into the car to drive around and look at Christmas lights.  We're looking forward to doing this in Louisville, so if you know of the 'hot spots' for Christmas lights, please let me know.  What I'd really like to see this year is something like this.

How would you like to be this guy's neighbor?

They're coming Jess. I lost the cord to my camera, so it's a much longer process for me now...

I think it would be a bit annoying to live near that guy, if for no other reason than all the increased traffic that would happen around this time of year.
