Christmas in Montana is so close, I can almost taste it.

One of my favorite things to do is drive around and look at Christmas lights.  I don't know why, but it just fills me with happiness and the spirit of the Holidays.

When we lived in Oregon, there was a place close to home called Shore Acres.  Most of the year it's a flower garden and a great place to get a spectacular view of the ocean.  In the winter, they turn it into a beautiful Christmas wonderland of lights.

I found something like it in Montana.  If you're willing to drive a little bit, I found a heck of a Christmas light display.
