Christmas lights

As I was driving my daughter to dance the other night, Christmas lights were up and twinkling away.  I can't remember seeing them up so early.

I love them!  It's the big things you see in your neighbor's yards...from Frosty, to Santa, to Olaf and anything else you could imagine Christmas or Holiday related.

It's my favorite thing to do around Christmastime.  We'll take a drive around neighborhoods to see the lights.  Turn up 92.7 WOBM, we are your home for the holidays, and enjoy the Ocean County neighborhoods.

Saturday night we went to Six Flag's Holiday in the Park and we loved it! More than a million glittering lights, dazzling holiday entertainment, delicious seasonal treats, Santa’s village and many popular rides will magically transform the summer thrill destination into a winter wonderland.

I love just getting in the car and looking at all the lights in our neighborhood.

To me, there's nothing better than a quaint town all decorated to get me into the Christmas spirit.

So every year, I wonder should I go away from my white lights on the Christmas tree and outside the house or should I go multi colored lights.  I know Thanksgiving is first, but I have to think about this and start planning.

Last year the 56,000 light Christmas display which adorned Jan Stewart's Fountain Valley, California home went viral, with a YouTube video of the lights in action garnering close to 500,000 views.

64 percent of homeowners say they are going to put up Christmas decorations this holiday season. Of course "decorations" can be anything from a simple candle in the window to a blinding and all-encompassing collection of flashing lights.

No matter what the holiday, we always love getting extra festive. It's not like we need an excuse to wear awful Christmas sweaters or take part in a harmless snowman prank, but doing that stuff during the season makes us look a little less crazy. The season also provides the perfect excuse to go way overboard in the decorating department.
