We have been wanting to drive around to look at Christmas lights, so we bundled up the kiddos last night and went for a ride. We found two great streets that you have to see this year.

First on our list was Troost Ave. (which is just off of Heege road near Fortel's Pizza Den). Every house on the entire block is decked out in lights, and each one is better than the next. There is also a special treat at the end of the block. I don't want to spoil it for you, but I'll give you a hint. Look at the lone house without any Christmas lights hanging and think about the movie "The Christmas Story." Scott and I were laughing hysterically and wished we had thought of their clever decoration.

Then we hit Murdoch Ave. (near Ted Drewes) which is better known as Candy Cane Lane. Every single tree on this block is wrapped in red and white lights to look like candy canes. All of the houses have tons of lights and you may even spot the man in the "light suit" handing out candy canes.


Our last stop for the evening was Ted Drewes. We were so close that we just had to stop for a treat! It was a great family night. Be sure to visit these two terrific streets before the holiday is over.
