While out looking at Christmas lights, Stacy fell in love with this display on Northview Lane. It’s an enormous tree with LED ornaments which cycle through colors and patterns. There’s also a nice little display below.

This display has always been one of her favorites, at least in the few years we’ve been married or dating. It’s down in Marina Bay in Mandan, where this family decorates their deck like a carousel. Don’t forget the helicopter on the roof!

Homes in Marina Bay don’t seem to be as decorated as they have been in the past. Down in the corner along the river, just past Dr. Scherr’s house, the houses used to have all kinds of nice displays and lights. Nowadays it’s not nearly as fun to drive through the area; only a few homes are decorated this year. That’s okay, there are other “hot spots” for Christmas lights now…maybe you’ll see some of them posted here!
