Celebrating Traditions: Johnson City Christmas Lights

Happy Monday, Friends! Can you believe tomorrow is Christmas Eve? When my kids were at home, one of our yearly traditions was piling in the car with our cookies and cocoa to go and look at Christmas lights. Sometimes we went to special displays but mostly we drove around local neighborhoods while "Oohing and Ahhing!" This year we drove a little over an hour to visit the small town of Johnson City. It was well worth the drive as their abundance of lights can only be described as spectacular! Do you have a similar tradition?
