My Christmas nights tour last year was so fun, but I had no idea just how exciting it could become. I am overwhelmingly honored by the incredibly talented ladies who have chosen to join me today for this year’s tour. Be sure to scroll all the way down today and visit each of these amazing homes; you won’t be disappointed!

And if you are new here visiting from any of my lovely friends, welcome.

I have always been smitten by Christmas lights.

And while I enjoy driving around to see exterior ones, I tend to be a home body, especially at the holidays. I want to be surrounded by them…

Seriously, I practically don’t turn on overhead lights for the whole month of December. If people wouldn’t look at me funny, I could happily dine and work via twinkling lights year round.

I’m not sure it gets more peaceful than this… So to allow you to fully enjoy these scenes, I want to mostly share pictures and [try to] keep my mouth shut.

I haven’t shown much of the back yard on the blog before, but I couldn’t resist sharing all the twinkling lights with you.

Add some white hot chocolate (which I am currently obsessed with), and even on a cold evening, it’s a real treat to be out here.

I wish you could all sit out there with me and enjoy that hot chocolate… Even more than that, I wish you and your loved ones a beautiful and glorious Christmas season – no matter how many twinkling lights it involves.

to us a son is given;
and the government shall be upon his shoulder,
and his name shall be called 
Wonderful Counselor, Might God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
