Need a little something to help you get in the holiday spirit?

Need a little something to help you get in the holiday spirit?


Well if you live in Northern Virginia, you can see this amazing holiday light show in person. Just load up the car and head to Collingwood Rd, in Alexandria Virginia. 

 
Now when you get there and you pull off the side of the road. Turn your radio to 88.1 and turn up the volume as each new song comes on, the lights are choreographed to the music.  

 

My husband and I went last night and thankfully, I had my Flipshare Camera in my purse. Oh my what a treat! I went to my computer and sent the video I loaded in Youtube.com to my Mom she is 80 years old and love it. That's when I thought, you all might like to see it as well.  

 

Enjoy...

Peggy-sounds like a great way to kick off the Christmas season watching a light show from the comforts of your car while listening to the choreographed songs. Fun

Love the video Peggy - what a great idea to share this!  The Columbus Zoo does something very similar, but you have to be inside the zoo to see the light show - there are over 3 million-lights and it's just amazing.  Your video gave me chills!
