It's Get Out of the House Day!

My husband suggested the other day that we go check out the Lights in the Park. The location is about 45 minutes from our home and in the same little town as the flea market. So I suggested waiting until Sunday afternoon and going by the flea market and then head to the park. He agreed, so we will be going to tidy up. I haven't been by there in a week and a half, so I am expecting a lot of tidying to do. I am only going to bring new t-shirts to put out today to keep the time there limited. He will only walk around for a few minutes before his knee is giving him trouble. The park with the light display is a "drive through the park" where you pay by the car for entrance into the car. This park has been doing this for years and we have never checked it out before. Hopefully, I will be able to get some good pictures! Do you like to go look at Christmas lights and decorations in your area? Hope everyone has a relaxed, peaceful, and blessed Sunday! Photo Credit: Pixabay, Public Domain

Your drive by lights in the park sounds like what my community does. I hope you have a splendid day.

@kareng It's Christmas time. Time to roll down the car window and belt out some silly tunes.

@sallypup It was nice with the holiday music they had playing. We did not keep the windows down unless taking photos. The mosquitoes were out in force.

I enjoy Christmas decorations. But I don't really seek them out.

It's fun to run across some pretty ones on routes you don't usually take or someone new decorates that hasn't in years past. Nice surprises!

@kaylachan Right, it was about a 50/50 effort! So, I'll take it.

Oh that would be FUN! I tried to get as many photos as I could but my driver wouldn't stop long enough at most of the places I asked him too. Grumble!! I still got a nice collection!

My relatives and myself used to see the Christmas lights near the downtown section of Lake Charles a few years ago.

Lake Charles has really grown compared to 15-20 years ago.

Yes, it was nice except my husband felt rushed with the truck behind us and on our bumper. I would have gotten better and more pictures without him behind us. Always a bad apple in the bunch!

Yes. However, there are not many Christmas lights in our area. I am not sure why people do not put up Christmas lights here. Hehe.

I do..it can be awe inspiring. We went to one of those drive thru's a couple of years ago. It was fun. However, the best lights are at the arboretum. They are a wonderland.

That must have been a great outing and even to get there you musthave seen streets lit up may be with a Christmas fee.

Nothing along the way since it was still daylight. The Park was nice though, and worth the drive. Although, combining with the flea market trip, not a special trip, which made it even better.

That sounds like a lovely time together. We have those holiday drives through the lights. They usually choose a conservation area with lots of trees to decorate them in.

Yes, it was fun. They had a lot of decorations and I'll be posting on it tonight or in the morning. Got to get a photo transferred over first.

Same here. Decorations in the country are so few and far between. Our little town is decorated at the Court House and a good many stores all have their store fronts all painted in various holiday themes by a local artist. It's very pretty!

@kareng The paintings would add a nice touch. Uptown LaRue is decorated every year. But fewer and fewer houses are decorating each year

@wolfgirl569 It's nice and I haven't seen any two alike. Stores in neighboring towns have also been hiring her. She posts or the store will post on FB her artwork. It's pretty cool!

We used to take my Mum around her home town and check out the lights. We haven't done it since being here.
