I love driving around this time of year – streets just seem happier this time of year with all of the lights! I would love them up to shine all winter, but my husband usually shuts them off sometime in January (and most people are done earlier than that!) I guess I had better enjoy them while I see them!
The light pictures above and the at the bottom of the post from our favorite place to drive by every year! I think I might even be able to sing along with their song sequence by now!
In most small towns, finding the best decorated houses is a bit easier. With lights on many a corner, finding the most fun displays in cities and larger towns is a bit challenging. So I thought I would provide you with a few links of some of the best lit homes across the state. At least according to my initial search – I am sure I missing many beautifully decorated homes. If you know of a great display in your area, please post a comment below or a link on my Odyssey Through Nebraska Facebook page.
