Local Light Displays

Sam joined Mom and Dad for a driving tour of the best-decorated holiday lights in Ashburn. They saw the top 3 single family, top 3 townhouses, 8 honorable mention houses, and about a dozen named streets. Surprisingly, this took an hour and a half to complete. They finished the tour by driving up the winning best-decorated street in Ashburn Village, their own Merrywood Court! Sam seems to like the consistency of the net lights, while Mom preferred more staggered arrangements and Dad like the LED lights. Unfortunately, one thing the prize committee seemed to reward is the inflatables (and lots of em). It was nice to see the Johnstons, Bidwells, and Walkers all on the list of featured houses. Then there were Jack and Jennifer’s houses, which had no holiday lights at all. In Jack’s defense – his family is Jewish (although they did have a Christmas tree in the living room).
