Throw Up Christmas Ride

You know those houses in the neighborhood that put the Griswold's Christmas light display to shame?

Rick posted up a group ride to visit houses in the neighborhood where it looks like someone threw-up Christmas all over it. It has been a long time since I've been out on the bike and since it was the end of the world, we didn't get out for a Solstice Ride so out the door I went.

We started with the local Pepsi Company that puts on a Christmas light display every year, they decorate their warehouse and grounds with Christmas lights, plywood cutouts of  cartoon characters and animate them with lights, mechanical movement and music. Hundreds of people drive the grounds every year as tradition, it is difficult to stop for photos on a motorcycle as it holds up traffic but you can read about it here.

After riding through the Pepsi display we rode slowly past a couple of houses with much smaller electric bills and knowing that our next stop was going to be awesome.

This guy's neighbors invest just as much money in blackout curtains as he does in Christmas lighting, it is quite blinding.




We stuck around for a couple three songs then went off in search of other displays. We rode past a couple more well decorated houses then stopped at this popular house which has been decorated every year for as long as I've been here.

I knew Santa's sleigh was old school

...but this is too cool for school.

Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Joyeux Noel and Season's Greetings to all.
