Christmas Magic in the Mission Mountains

I was gone for a week at my “nerd conference” (as Bill calls it) and came home to reindeer in our living room! 🦌🦌

It’s a warm July evening and we’re out on the deck pushing pixels in new props for our Christmas light show!

🎉 ONE MORE NIGHT! 🎉 Last night was our scheduled last night, but let’s take advantage of this beautiful overnight snow and run the show one more night tonight (Friday, January 2nd) before we begin the take-down process in tomorrow’s “warm”er temps. 🎶 Tune to 88.9 FM and come by between 5:30-9:00 PM. 🎅🏼🎄🧑🏼‍🎄

🎅🏼🎄🧑🏼‍🎄 Christmas Eve is the busiest night for our light show. Tonight’s hours are 5:30-10:00 PM and the show will be shortened to 10 minutes to keep traffic moving. A few important requests:

🔔 If our side of the street has space for your vehicle, please turn around and park on our side. If you don’t do this, then there’s a risk of traffic backing up on the other side onto Kerr Dam Rd. Safety first, please! Continue to pull forward to the next open spot when someone ahead of you in line leaves. It’s okay to block our driveway. We’re not going anywhere tonight! 😂 There’s a turnaround area at the end of our little street, or carefully use someone’s driveway.

🎶 If you haven’t used your car radio in awhile (or ever), practice ahead of time figuring out how to tune it to 88.9 FM. This will make for a more efficient experience for you tonight. Another option is to download the free PulseMesh app and allow location sharing. Then just click on our show when it pops up. (You have to be within a certain distance of our house for it to pop up.) Syncing on the app between the music and the lights isn’t quite as perfect as it is with the radio, however, but it will do if radio isn’t an option for you.

💡Dimming your headlights is polite for the vehicle ahead of you, HOWEVER please if possible keep your running lights on so you are still visible to everyone. If you can’t figure out how to do either, then headlights on is better than no lights on tonight. And of course, please remember to turn your headlights back on before you leave the neighborhood! 😉

🏡 Our wonderful neighbors will still need to get through to their homes. Thank you for always being so good about leaving space for them and respecting our little neighborhood. We appreciate you! 💚

🍫🦴 We’ll be out periodically to hand out candy canes and chocolates for the people and milk bones for the doggies! 🐶

🎄 Make memories and enjoy the show!

Merry Christmas from 🎅🏼Bill & 🧑🏼‍🎄Tamara
