Nifty Christmas Light Displays in Lincolnwood, IL

Can I just say that I absolutely love large Christmas light displays?  There used to be a house by Pioneer Park that did a light/music display for the holidays.  It was absolutely amazing!  They'd put it up Thanksgiving weekend and it would run through New Year's.  Even Miss Rosie loved going to see it, as they'd play the music outside too.

Unfortunately, the family sold their house and moved before the holidays this year.  There isn't any fancy light display by the park this year.  No traffic jams of people in their cars watching the lights.  It's kinda sad.  :(  There was an awesome pirate ship at North School Park in Arlington Heights though.  (excuse the quality of the photos, apparently the bloggie doesn't take great night photos)

But I did get to see some awesome Christmas decorations in Lincolnwood.  Apparently, my parents took me to see the lights there when I was really, really little.  Needless to say, I don't remember that at all.

If you're in the Chicago area and want to see some awesome lights, you should definitely check these out.  While none of the lights seemed to be cued by music, they were still impressive.  Below you'll see a house with what looks like a huge Christmas tree going through the roof.

In the very same yard, there was a pair of (real) stuffed reindeer pulling Santa's sleigh.  This is something I've never seen before.  I can't imagine putting real albeit stuffed animals on display for a holiday.

I'm including a YouTube video I found with some of the lights you'll see in Lincolnwood.


Let me know if there are any awesome Christmas decorations in your area!  If you're in the Chicago area, its possible we just might stop by to have a look!  :)
