Christmas Light Scavenger Hunt: Your New Favorite Family Tradition

Going on a Christmas light scavenger hunt has fast become my favorite tradition that we started a few years ago, for quite a few reasons:

• it’s fun for the whole family, it would even make a great date night activity
• it’s practically free
• it gives you a new way to explore your neighborhood/town or maybe even a brand new city
• it gets you into the holiday spirit
• it’s something you can do year after year and it will always be a unique and different experience!

Here’s how you can easily start this tradition with your own family…
