I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I know I did with all my family. Well it is official, time to decorate for Christmas. My tree is up just not decorated yet. I have seen a lot of families with their trees up and decorated. I love to see the Christmas lights and decorations. And if you love them too there are several places to visit in Nashville. Of course Opryland Hotel always a beautiful sight inside and out. Dancing Lights of Christmas at Jellystone Park, 2572 Music Valley Drive, Synchronized lights with 98wsix. Fill up a carload. Then there is Holiday Light at Cheekwood, 1200 Forrest Park where there are 750,000 lights were you can walk from the grounds to the beautiful mansion and see live reindeer also. Lights on Old Charlotte, 2613 Old Charlotte Pike where you will find a 25 ft. tree and much more. Last but not least Lipton Lights which is choreographed to music. You can find all these sights and a map on the internet. www.onlyinourstate.com
