Christmas Lights

On 12/23 we took the kids out after dinner to check out home holiday light displays. The San Jose Mercury News website has a map, where people submit their homes. I found 4 that were fairly close to us. On our way to the first we drove to a court where I know all the houses put up lights every year. The street is named Estate Drive and is in Los Altos, so you know the light displays have to be "tasteful" (i.e., white lights vs blinking rainbow lights and no blow-up grinches stuck in a chimney). The houses did look nice.

We then went on to see more "colorful" homes. The best home (or I should say the one with the most) we came across randomly. It had a car parked in the driveway that was lit up and every kind of blow-up Christmas decoration you can imagine (1st photo). Another house on the same street had a live Santa sitting out front. There was a line of people waiting to see him, too (2nd photo).
