Tonight I'm sharing with you one of our favorite holiday time traditions...Coffee and Christmas Lights! For years now, every winter, we go out scouting for the best holiday light displays! It's so much fun and I look forward to it all year. We try to go as many different nights as possible. The evening always starts with a trip to Starbucks for a Peppermint Mocha! (of course, right?) Then we pile in the sleigh, I mean truck, and head out. The DH drives all the time so I can look and relax. It's wonderful time together. We are so lucky that there are several places in Sac-town that go all out for Christmas lights. Last night's destination was downtown... They even put a map in our local paper! So, sit back and put your feet up...and I hope you enjoy the pictures!
THIS is where it all begins....mmmmmm....
Our beautiful State Capitol building and tree....
We have a little tiny ice rink right in the middle of downtown....
This is one of my favorite places to go....
And again....mmmm....
And to all a GOOD NIGHT!
The Christmas tree in the 2nd picture is amazing! Beautiful shots!

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing it with us. My husband and I started this tradition when it was just us. My daughters are 14 and we have done it every year of their life as well. I once read a story about a family that wrote little thank you notes and tucked them in the mail boxes of the homes whose decorating they especially loved alog their route. Maybe this year we will take some notes out with us.
