"Load up the car or van and see the holiday lights"
Which night is your family's favorite for all jumping in the car and riding out to see everyone's Christmas decorations and lights? It has even become a custom to go a little farther than the neighborhood into downtown areas to see the city's display. In the last few years, retirement homes and/or individual families rent vehicles to take a whole load of people to view the "tacky light tour". Various addresses are advertised as being a part of the "tacky light tour". The tour buses are never disappointed when they get to the addresses advertised. It is somewhat like a three-ring circus. There is no rhyme or reason for some of the figures that have been put up, but there are a lot, and most are blinking wildly. It is clearly something the resident does for his own amusement, as well as the amusement of those who make a special trip to see them.
Viewing Christmas lights , whatever type they may be has become a tradition...one that lots of people look forward to. After their light tours, many stop off for hot chocolate or at a Starbucks for a latte. It is a kind of fun thing to do.
Some homes stick with a traditional favorite style
There are as many different styles of lighting displays as there are homes to display them. The icicle lights have become very popular that are draped across rooftops and give a very realistic icicle look. Homes with particularly interesting architectural features make especially good examples for that type of light. Many people find that not only are the lights expensive, but the installation is quite tricky, so they choose to leave them up year round. They of course, don't usually leave them on all year, but you get the idea. It's too much trouble to take them down. People who live around lakes place the lights around small piers at the lake's edge for an especially beautiful effect at night. And, many of these do turn their lights on year round.
A Better Light for Energy conservation
If you're really into energy conservation this year, the LED light sets may be your best choice. They can be used for many different types of applications and save up to 80% on energy consumption. There are computer controlled systems that may your light system a snap to operate during the holidays. Check with your local lighting professional for details on this setup.
