If you have the opportunity, I highly recommend visiting Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, TN during Christmas. It's absolutely beautiful and the shows are broadway quality.

We try to go to Oglebay Park "Winter Festival Of Lights" in Wheeling West Virginia. It's about 70 miles East from us, but always worth the trip.
It is a six mile driving tour of light displays. The driving tour is free, but they do like donations if you are able to give. All money collected goes to building more displays The Oglebay Winter Festival of Lights, which began in 1985, has grown into one of the nation’s largest holiday light shows. It attracts more than a million visitors each year, including thousands of tour buses from across the United States. The show has even been identified as one of the best Christmas displays in the United States by many travel companies and online publication. The Oglebay Winter Festival of Lights covers more than three hundred acres over a six-mile drive throughout Oglebay park. Featuring 89 lighted attractions boasting more than one million lights, this energy-efficient, LED show is sure to amaze guests of all ages. There is a map at the bottom inside the website https://lights.oglebay.com/light-displays/ Here is a part driving tour of some of the displays (10:44 long) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QoRgPOywImM |

the reason for the season! That will help get you in the mood! Take your focus OFF of those small LED lights being ugly, and find SOMETHING you like and appreciate about them. Even if it's just appreciating the fact that you have electricity, so they CAN be lit. Many people wish they had electricity. And STOP dwelling on the old Christmas' of the past. Oh, it's good to have Christmas memories, but, don't let those memories stopyou, from enjoying Christmas today! Those old Christmas' were great, but times have changed, the people are gone, and you have to move on. Make an effort to enjoy the holidays! Find something positive to focus on. I had to start thinking this way myself. Nobody wants or needs the Holiday Blues! Focus on something positive, no matter how small! |
