Excellent post, Laurie!

The Pink Pig is back? Where have I been? ha!

I've been to the Lanier lights thing in the past and it was pretty cool to do at least once. Wouldn't you know it though? We got stuck w/ the one ding-dong in line who thought it'd be better to have his lights on the whole time!!! AHHhhhhh! At one point we just had to pull over and let him pass.

I love the live nativity scenes. Those are always fun.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO EVERYONE IN THE ATL!

Janet,

Thanks for the kudo!

I remember the year I took family (3 vehicles) to see the Lights at Lake Lanier. It was over Thanksgiving weekend and we must have waited almost 2 hours to get into the park. By that time the kids were asleep! lol
