This is a tradition that I married into. My wife and her family have been going to look at the lights at Western Carolina for 25 years or so, and now that we all have kids, we still like to go. But as is par with my wife's family, they don't play by the rules.
Western Carolina has lights and other decorations setup at different stations all throughout their campus, and people come and drive through and look at them all. This causes a nice line of traffic where everyone is stopped and when they actually move, it is at about 2 MPH.
Well, that wasn't so appealing, waiting in lines and not even being able to interact with the decorations. So we park and walk through, letting the kids get in the scenes and blocking everyone else's view. The best part is that we pass all the people in their cars and we are walking. It is like the opening scene of Office Space, when Samir is driving to work and the elderly person using the walker passes him. Check out some of the fun below.
