This is really something you should plan far in advance, but hey! It's an idea to dream about for next year. Last week at MOPS we talked about finding good nieghborhoods of Christmas Displays. I wish I had brought my notebook and pen, because I would have written down every street mentioned that day!
Thankfully, my local newspaper gathers information and pictures for me, but for you guys; looks like you're on your own. However, if you are looking for a fun family event to do with your group consider doing a Christmas Light Hunt.
I'm planning to do this next year, so of course; my idea might need fine tuning. ;0)
1. Map out places you know will be good, and determine a place for the families to meet up. A good idea might be Mc Donalds with a playplace that way the families can have dinner together first. This is something you might want to start doing now; write down displays you see this year for next year's tour.
2. Be sure to pack walkie talkies. This way each family can stay in their own van (car, SUV, whatever) and head home when the time is right for them.. But everyone is still conversing with each others over the 'magic'.
3. Take a tour. Choose someone to be the 'leader' and follow the map.
Can you imagine, not having to 'unload and reload' your children for this event? hehehe~ if you happen to have that magical Dvd player too, you can watch christmas movies inbetween the "oooos' and "awwws"....
