Video of Christmas Lights Up the Neighborhood at growingbolder.com

Posted on December 18th, 2008 at 10:00 am

Sometimes, holiday lights can be just the thing to get us out of our houses and spreading good cheer.

Take this tour through a charming neighborhood called Columbus Harbor in Longwood, Florida. Every year, they go all out to bring the holiday spirit to life. The best thing about it is each of the residents does something special.

They block off the streets to only allow pedestrian access, and you walk from home to home, enjoy some freshly popped popcorn, cotton candy and foods of all kinds.

For the kids, they set up bounce houses, have old firetruck rides, hayrides, train rides and they even have a horse-drawn carriage. And every homeowner tries to out-do their neighbor with fantastic light displays.

Watch, enjoy the music of Wayne Gratz, and celebrate the true meaning of Christmas.

Have a holiday video you'd like to share? Do you know of displays we should all see? Get that camera out, take some shots and upload it today!

Oh what wonderful memories. Mark would be so happy to see all the fun that still takes place. I am sure some of you can't help be remember him and his fire truck at this time of the year. Bless you all.

See my little grandson, Alexander. He is the light of my life.

I used to live in this neighborhood years ago and it is everything that it seems. There is truly a little piece of heaven on earth and it is Columbus Harbour.

PS: The Santa on a bike kind of scared me. I've only seen him on a sleigh and in a mall!

Did I hear Wayne Gratz???? and see a comment from Llod Hanson? When is there a paradise reunion in Orlando and how is Kim?

I still have cassette copies of most of your Paradise radio demos. Do you guys have that video from MTV on You Tube? What was the song's name? Don't let it slip away? I am such a nerd music fanatic. Kim and Wayne did this one song together I have somewhere called " I Will Know you" that was so beautiful. I wish you would remix it and sell it now
