Christmas traditions here in Virginia

Tis the season,
One of our most exciting Christmas traditions in the heart of Virginia is to take the family out to view Christmas Lights. We end up driving all around the city for a few hours with hot cocoa, seasonal music, and good times.
Having a large family, we have lots to talk about, especially Christmas's past. The pranks, the special gifts, the snows.
As the evening winds down, sometimes we'll take an extra trip to a very special place about 30 miles from our home. It's in another small town Bedford, where the National Elks Retirement Home is located.
They spruce up the place with all kinds of lights, puppets, and displays. People come from all over Virginia just to see these lights. I mean Bus Tours!
Its always heart warming to see the small children with their mouths a gap looking at the spectacle with wonder.
If you're ever near it, come see it!
