Make candy-cane milkshakes.
For my family, that implies that tonight is the night we drive around to look at Christmas lights! This tradition started when we lived in Lewiston, Idaho. Our first Christmas there (and every Christmas for 12 years after that), we had supper with our friends Tim and Denise, and they drove us around to all the best lights, then took us to Sharp's Burger Ranch for candy cane shakes. Mmm-mmm! We haven't been able to find any that good since we moved, so we make them ourselves with vanilla ice cream, milk, and candy canes. And while I love the Celebration of Lights at SAU the night of the Christmas parade, and Wentworth Place did a great job on their lights,
nothing compares to the city display at Locomotive Park that we always went to in Lewiston. Pictures and videos don't do it justice, but seeing this one on you tube did bring back memories!
(The flashing lights were in sync with the music that played, and the arches changed color when you walked through them. They also had a mat for kids to jump on to make things light up, and a fireplace with hot chocolate available.)
