NASHVILLE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS

Well there was no snow this year in Nashville for Christmas but it sure was cold.
 We all decided to go out and eat and go look at the Christmas lights. Don't know if you have ever heard of Lipton Lights (liptonlights.com)but it is a sight to go see. I think they have some over in Gatlinburg, Tn.
 These lights go on and off to the music which you listen to in the car on your radio. I have never saw anything come up with this. There are around 8,500 lights and one house down in Franklin, Tn. had them on display.
 You could sit half the night and just watch them. It is free but you can leave a donation in the box.
We also went to a display that a man had been doing this coming year will make 30 years. His son got killed in a car wreck and his son always loved to decorate with lights so his dad kept up the tradition and has added to it each year.
There is ever type of scenes that you can think of. Santa playing ball. Kids swinging. Kids seesawing. Kids going up ladders. Helicopters flying.So many that I can't remember them all. I have never saw so many different lights along with the scenes. There were car loads of people getting out and looking at all of it and even limo's coming in to look at this. The man that owned the house was out directing the traffic. That takes love to stay there 7 days of the week for around 6 hours each night for around 4 weeks doing this.
We then went and saw the house that won it for the best Christmas lights and it was something else also. Then we went on to another house that was lit up with more scenes then the one that won it.
I wish every child could just go see this. It is what Christmas is all about in a child's eyes. Of course we don't wont to forget the real meaning of Christmas but this is just something that is breath taking to see and you ohh and ahh all the time while looking at all of it. No matter how many times you go back and see it you will find something different to look at each time. So make plans if  you can to go check out the lights in the Nashville, Smyrna area next year. They are all close together and do not take a lot of driving to go see them.
