Christmas Lights Trail
A calendar counting down the days to Christmas hangs in my living room and every day I mark off one more day (Cue me acting like Buddy the Elf and singing Christmas music constantly)! I’ve been planning hours and hours of fun for my friends and family this holiday season and one can’t-miss Christmas activity is visiting lights. There’s something so magical about walking and driving through miles of lights!
