Germantown's Holiday Lights 2016

Germantown's Holiday Lights 2016

I can live without snow, but for me, Christmas just isn't Christmas without a healthy dose of holiday lights

 It's amazing how they can transform a home or building into something entirely magical as darkness falls.  

Thanks to modern technology, projections or even a minion or too can add to the effect.

 Luckily, I happen to live next door to one of the best displays in town (thanks to Jim and Judy Bell)!

My fortunate location aside, a walk or drive around Germantown in the early evening will reward one with plenty of cheery displays to make the spirit bright.  To follow are some I have taken photos of over the past several weeks.

Holiday Fever does not just hit homeowners - many of our local businesses and organizations get in the act too!

Main Street's new sidewalk gives one the opportunity to stroll past ten or so decorated homes between 9G and Church Ave, including the following.

This is by no means a complete representation of all the holiday displays in town, so I encourage you to get out and see them yourselves before the year ends and they are gone!

Happy Holidays Germantown!
