A Balmy Christmas Eve – Part 2

Another from our Christmas Eve light tour.  Not many lights in this yard, but the rain-slicked driveway really brightens things up. 

More pictures from Christmas Eve to come.

A Balmy Christmas Eve – Part 1

Christmas Eve, we drove around the Twin Cities looking at Christmas lights.  We had a record-breaking high of 55ºF and it had been steadily raining all day and night.  It was still 51ºF and raining during our adventure.  I was taking pictures without wearing a coat - just jeans and a T-shirt, and I wasn't cold.  In Minnesota, we don't normally still have patches of green grass in December!  

The wet roads added something special to the festive lights.  

More images from Christmas Eve to come.

Flummery

 Arby's drive-thru is still in the holiday spirit.  Can you find the 2 objects that led me to this conclusion?

Flickery

Wrapping up the 31 Days of Christmas celebration with a pretty tree we saw Christmas Day.  

Symphony

31 Days of Christmas continues.  Trans-Siberian Orchestra put on a stellar Christmas concert Monday night.  It's the 25th anniversary of their debut album Christmas Eve and Other Stories.

Snoozy

31 Days of Christmas continues.  Not a doggo was stirring...

Scintillatingly

 

31 Days of Christmas continues.  More from Summit Ave.  

Reachingly

 31 Days of Christmas continues.  The tree looks like it's reaching out tendrils.  

Decorously

31 Days of Christmas continues.  More from Summit Ave.  This house doesn't have many Christmas decorations, but it looks so imposing.  I could also picture it on an antique postcard or in an old photo album, so that's how I'm presenting it.

Grandly

31 Days of Christmas continues.  More from Summit Ave.  Merry Christmas!

Dentately

31 Days of Christmas continues.  More from Summit Ave.  Simple but elegant decorations.

Crisply

31 Days of Christmas continues.  Moving over to Summit Avenue now.

Lyrically

 31 Days of Christmas continues.  More from York Avenue. 

Techie Corner

The trickiest thing about taking pictures on this street is that all the houses are synced to the music, which means rarely are all lights in a display turned on at the same time.  Oh well, still pretty.  Besides, some choir members always shine brighter than others, right?

Enchantingly

31 Days of Christmas continues.  More from York Avenue.  

Woofie

 31 Days of Christmas continues.  More from York Avenue.  Boy, that sure is a life-like Christmas display.  One would almost think that pupper is alive; comes with realistic sniffing and tail wagging.

Expandability

31 Days of Christmas continues.  My husband and I took an excursion this evening to look at Christmas displays. Both sides of this block are fully decorated and synced to Christmas music.  More to come from this location.

Pricey

31 Days of Christmas continues.  My bestie and I were out and about today and happened upon this ginormous Christmas elephant.  So cute!  Except for the price.  Guess how much it costs.
