All the Pretty Christmas Lights






Ah, all the pretty Christmas lights!

These pictures are from our Tuesday night outing in search of Christmas lights. These awesome photos were taken at Grace Baptist Church on Bee Ridge Road. Their lighting program blinks, moves and twirls to a 25-minute musical extravaganza.

You have to park in the back and walk into this musical wonderland. It is huge with over 500,000 blinking lights and 480 trees. A huge drum opens up during 'The Little Drummer Boy,' the angels fly over the manger during 'O Holy Night,' the American flag unfurls during the salute to the troops, 'Jingle Bells Forever.' This program is truly magical as you run from one side to the other with new synchronized blinks calling you over for a new experience. The crowd was hushed and in awe of the display, sometimes only able to point. Oh wait, that was me doing the pointing.

Anyway, if you find yourself in Sarasota, FL during the holidays this is a MUST SEE!

Inside volunteers serve hot cocoa and cookies. The church says this is their Christmas present to the community, and so it is.

Safe travels and holiday blessings to everyone,

K&J
