The Magic Village
One of my favorite things about the holidays is visiting what my kids years ago nicknamed the "Magic Village," that cul-de-sac at the end of Bennington Road in northwest Greensboro with the killer light display. Every house on the cul-de-sac participates, with a couple literally decorating every inch of the house and yard.
We drove through last night and it looked better than ever -- more lights dripping from the trees, more blinking Santas, stars and trains and a couple of those huge snow globes. I can't imagine those folks' power bills, but to them, my kids and I say thank you.
"You know, if the Magic Village weren't there, it would be a real loss for Greensboro," my 10-year-old daughter remarked thoughtfully. It would indeed.
Here's some video she shot last night.
