Driving around, admiring the creativity (and craziness) of holiday lights is an all-American tradition which costs less than a Starbucks Gingerbread Latte. Just be sure you be courteous while you enjoy the spectacle. For example….
Suggestions for Holiday Light TouringYou could be stunned by 2,000 tiny lights and a 12-foot Santa that waves, but try not to stop in the middle of the road. Pull over.2. Keep off the grass
If you get out of your car to snap a photo or take a closer look, stick to the sidewalk. Not only is it respectful of your neighbor’s property, additionally it is beneficial for you – there could possibly be electric chords and other tripping hazards.3. Keep in mind your own lights
Avoid shining your headlights directly into the front windows of the property you’re admiring. Make use of your parking lights, if you must.
4. Don’t idle (your car)
Don’t leave your vehicle idling as you take pleasure in the display. Global warming hits the North Pole hard.
5. Chip in
Some homeowners leave a donation jar to collect tips to assist with the electric bill. If you love the display, consider leaving a few bucks.
6. Don’t hog the view
Don’t park for too long in front of popular homes. Though you might be inspired to make a holiday call or run through all “Twelve Days of Christmas” with the kids, remember that others want to check out the display too.
7. Don’t forget other opportunities
Zoos and botanical gardens often host holiday light displays (and offer easier parking).
