Another successful lights tour

For the past few years, Meg and I take the kids on a driving tour of lights. We research on the internet where to drive to, and pick about 3 or 4 houses to enjoy. We had another successful lights tour this year, seeing some houses in Centennial and Englewood. Typically we get hot chocolates from Starbucks before we go on our journey, but neither Meg nor I wanted to feel bloated from the chocolatey drink so the kids got theirs at home. There was one house, though, that kind of freaked us all out. It was very nicely decorated, except in the window there was this reel of the shadow of the Grinch moving about. It was a tad bit creepy. We did miss seeing the one house that for years was decked out to the max and they would have cookies and cider for the viewers. They wrote a note last year it was their final year because they were retiring. So, while the other houses couldn't compete, it was still fun to play some Christmas tunes and carry on our tradition.
