The other night, we bundled up the kids to drive around and look at Christmas lights. We stopped at Starbucks and got hot chocolate, cider and some cookies and cranked up the Christmas tunes in our car.
This year, to make it fun for the kids, we asked them to rate the houses on a scale of 1 to 5 reindeer antlers...1 being "not so exciting" to 5 being "WOW, those are amazing"! We headed to a pretty popular area in our town that is known for their neighborhood lights! It was funny to hear their ratings of what they did and didn't like.
The houses that I just loved...very tasteful and pretty, they would give a 1 or 2, whereas the gaudy and tacky they would give 5 antlers!
Unfortunately, in this particular neighborhood we didn't see any "Griswold" houses, but I am sure if we had seen THIS....
my kids would have given it a big fat 10 reindeer antlers!!!!

Merry Christmas
ah yes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder isn't it
Guess what your dad did on Monday- watched Vacation, Christmas Vacation and European Vacation on some movie channel. He did enough laughing to last a year. Isn't that the Griswald house in your blog-haha
What a great idea! I hope you have a fun and safe journey to NJ. xoxo Monica
Haha! How fun! There is a house nearby that is completely covered in lights and set to music. We still haven't gone to see it, but we drove by once or twice. It is gawdy as heck, but VERY COOL. Five antlers for sure! :)
