Congratulations Elisabeth!My family went to Atlanta Botanical Garden’s newest special exhibition, Garden Lights Holiday Nights, an inaugural display featuring nearly 1 million lights, this weekend and talk about WOW! There are some great Christmas light exhibits around Atlanta this year and this is one to see! Atlanta Botanical Garden is in a central location (Piedmont Park area) so it’s convenient for most Atlanta area families to go to.
Garden Lights Holiday Nights is an amazing showcase of holiday lights on display throughout most of the garden. There’s something for everyone. Upon entering the Garden’s, visitors are dazzled by dozens of illuminated stars dancing from the canopies of storied hardwood trees. While strolling through the beautiful holiday lights at Atlanta Botanical Garden stop to enjoy hot chocolate, roast s’mores, and take a few minutes to listen to the live carolers signing classic Christmas songs that every child will recognize and want to sign along to.
Watch this video of 200 show-stopping, color-changing topiary forms choreographed to holiday music on the Great Lawn! The kids LOVED this! It was pretty amazing to watch and you couldn’t help but dance a little as you’ll see my 5 year old doing in the video.
Garden Lights, Holiday Nights is the ultimate in-town holiday event for the entire family!
Destined to become an in-town holiday tradition, Garden Lights, Holiday Nights, open nightly from November 19 through January 7, showcases enormousbotanical-inspired light displays throughout the 30-acre Midtown attraction, known for its innovative exhibitions. Unlike other area holiday light displays, this spectacular event allows visitors to meander among garden displays — including giant snowflakes, fleeting bumblebees and a towering “praying Santa mantis” – while sipping hot drinks and listening to strolling carolers.

My parents and I would drive around the county looking at the creatvie light displays people would set out. The town I grew up in was very small so there were no public light exhibitions only the ones that idividuals put out at personal residences. Now each year my husband and I take our four children to see lights. It has always been a Christmas tradition for me. Hope my kids will continue it.
When I was younger my parents would take us around the area to look at lights and we thought it was the coolest thing!

I have always been fascinated with lights around christmas, something so simple, clear and colored tiny bulbs, can bring such magic and beauty. There are so many memories but my favorite was probably seeing the Rockefeller Tree for the first time, live. I used to live in NY, I grew up there, but never saw it live until I was 20. It was really awesome.

Being in New York City one December was a great way to see holiday lights all over the city. Just beautiful and a great memory.
ever year before Christmas, my family and I would go to the Magical Night of Lights at Lake Lanier. It was so truly magical to drive in our cozy car and look at the wonderful display of Christmas lights. And then, we’d go stay at Stouffer’s hotel and eat a fancy dinner and sit in their outdoor hot tub. Talk about decadent!
Discovering the magic of Christmas lights set to music

I have such sweet memories of driving around town with my family looking at all the decorated houses.
My fondest memory is since I have had my own children. Every year we go “exploring” looking for neighbohoods/house all lit up. We listen to Christmas music and chat while we are on our journey. I treasure this time that we spend together and we are creating great memories.
