Christmas fantasy - park, forest & lodge in xmas lights

As you drive around admiring all the holiday lights this year, you may be inspired to create a great display of your own. While you might not be one to create a large display timed to music in your own front yard, you can still put together your own holiday light display that will be a joy to all who see it.

 

As you put up your lights this year, keep in mind some of the suggestions found here, such as adding a little bit of variety to the way you hang your lights and creating a focal point for the display. Your home and yard will help to propagate the holiday cheer and who knows? Maybe it will grow into a tradition that will someday invite others to drive by just to see your lights.
