Christmas Spirit!

Christmas is just around the corner, and the holiday spirit is finally starting to fill the air! It’s now socially acceptable and the perfect time to set up your Christmas tree and Christmas lights! As this season of joy and warmth officially begins let us enjoy good food and quality time with those we love. With twinkling lights and festive decorations, you can almost feel the magic of Christmas coming alive!

Christmas Light Route - PLEASE HELP!!

There are so many people that put a ton of effort into decorating their home and yard with beautiful light setups. I am compiling a list of the best in town and mapping out an efficient route to see them all. If you know of a home or business with a grand display this year, send me an email with the address and I will include the route in the next few editions of the newsletter!

I would love to be able to share multiple routes in several towns across the Springs area for all the Christmas light enthusiasts.
