There was one house… there’s always that one house, right? The house across from the post office had the most impressive Christmas lights. My mom drove us by it and told us that they had the same lights when she was a kid, too. They had a massive star on the roof and I think Santa and some reindeer were involved, too. It wasn’t quite like the scene from the Christmas Vacation or this “extremely festive” house, shall we say, but it was big excitement for kids to drive by!

This, to me, is the epitome of how a New England house should look when it’s all decked out for Christmas.
