were little. We'd make hot chocolate, put it into travel cups, put a christmas music cd in the player, and drive around for an hour or so. One subdivision had what the kids called dancing lights: that is, the trees along the main drive into it were decorated with twinkling lights which were then coordinated with christmas music from one of the local radio stations.
It was usually part of our christmas crafting weekend.
