Christmas Lights

Now that December has finally arrived we expect that most everyone who is putting our Christmas lights and decorations has done so, which means it's time to get out and see the lights. The City of Grand Junction is offering a special holiday light tour on December 8.

Monday evening, in the middle of the heavy snowfall, I was driving east on I-70 when I witnessed a strange blue glow in the distance. My first thoughts were a UFO must have landed. Nope, it's a Christmas light display.

We headed around Grand Junction to check out some of the great Christmas displays. Here are the photos we've captured so far.

When it comes to Christmas lights, Grand Junction knows how to bring it. And now, one of the beautiful homes in our area has been recognized as one of the best in the entire state of Colorado.

If you were planning on doing an elaborate Christmas-lights show this year then basking in the glow of your neighbors' admiration and envy, forget it. Forever.

This just might be the best Christmas light display I have ever seen. It is the annual holiday display at the Bath Business Improvement District in England and all I can say is wow what a killer light show.

There are so many places to look at Christmas lights around Grand Junction. This is a great way to spend some quality Holiday time with the family. Here are some of the best neighborhoods to enjoy Christmas lights in town.

Sometime people have a themes with their holiday light displays like joy to the world or peace on earth well Brighton has a little different take on their Christmas lights. I would say the crew who hung the lights had a little more than peace on earth on their minds when they put them up.

This may be the most impressive metal Christmas light show we've ever posted. Paying tribute to late Slayer guitarist Jeff Hanneman, a dedicated metalhead took the time to put together a phenomenal light show using a medley of Slayer anthems including 'Hell Awaits,' 'Angel of Death,' 'War Ensemble,' 'Raining Blood' and 'New Faith.'

It's beginning to look a LOT like Christmas.
