You can never get enough Christmas Lights and now that Christmas in Seattle is over until next year I am sending Christmas 2007 off with a BLAZE of Lights!
Here is a Georgetown Home all aglow....
Lastly...a Wallingford Home alight with Christmas Cheer!
Hoping your Christmas and Holidays were bright...and to all a good night!
Last Saturday on the first full day of Winter Solstice, a friend and I went on one of our Christmas Light tours. This year we decided to follow KOMO TV's (channel 4) Parade of Lights list for finding spectacular Christmas Lights.
While it was rainy during the day, by evening it cleared up enough to see an almost full moon while driving around the Seattle Area. We covered a wide area to find these amazing displays, and while traveling from home to home, we spotted other beautiful electric expressions of the season to enjoy!
The journey began in Normandy Park....
Then over to West Seattle where to keep up our strength for the journey we stopped at Tully's in West Seattle to pick up some Eggnog Shakes with extra nutmeg and then to Beach Drive.
Up to Queen Anne, then over the bridge to Wallingford...Santa was on the porch at this home greeting the visitors..."Hello Santa!"
Then across Lake Washington to Bellevue to see more, at this house there was a limo doing a tour of lights.
It was a wonderful, electrical extravaganza of creative Christmas Lights expression! Try and take a drive in your Seattle Neighborhood to see what your neighbors have done, it can be absolutely magical!
Last week for Friday Photo I wrote that it was beginning to look a lot like Christmas.... Well, the next day on Saturday, December 1st we had snow! Not our average December weather.
Since I did not have an Open House that Saturday, I decided to take the day off to go shopping with a friend for Christmas decorations. We had snow flurries at University Village, and when we went to the West Seattle Target there was lots more snow.
Afterwards we drove along Beach Dr, then Alki and back to Seattle, the snow was lovely!
Tomorrow is December first and we are off to a great start for the Holiday, the weather this past November has been wonderful with many sunny days (Thanksgiving was glorious!) and the weatherman is predicting a bit of snow for the first day of December! So it is beginning to look a lot like Christmas in Seattle...

I'll be looking for all my favorite places in Seattle for Christmas lights in the weeks to come!
