Spectacle of Lights


For about the past ten years, Brian and I have made a tradition of driving through the nearby suburb of Lincolnwood to take in the celebration of extravagance that is their Christmas (and in some cases, Hanukkah) lights display. About 20 homes in the neighborhood are lit up so outrageously that we can practically hear their electrical meters whirring from our idling car. It is a real live version of Christmas Vacation. Last night we took Eamon through for a tour, now that he's old enough to at least look in the direction we point. He seemed to enjoy it.

This is a photo of my absolute favorite one. I hope Eamon believes it's all one big tree at least as long as he believes in Santa.

  1. That is really cool. I've read about this in the Trib. We should take a trip over.

    PS-Love that picture of Eamon on the sidebar.

  2. That is very clever - and very big! Awesome stair shot. At Dan's, I believe. Hooray!
