I really enjoyed those lights. I remember you all doing them last year. A small town near us called Gallipolis was featured on the Today show this morning for best small town main street lights. Derrick, I know you like trains. I do as well. I wish I had my trains from childhood. My grandpa was a train engineer. He had retired before I was born. But he knew all the engineers that came through our area. When I was 4 or 5 they let him take me into the train. One of my earliest memories. He sadly passed shortly after that. Derrick and Shawnasi Merry Christmas and God bless you and your family. Please keep my mom in your prayers. Her name is Janet.
I don't know why I'm just now seeing this message. We certainly will remember her in prayer. Sorry about you losing your grandfather, but you do have that wonderful memory of him.
We drove to Forest City NC this past weekend..had only been one other time …when our son was 7 yrs old. He’s 25 now. Sure did enjoy this adventure. Christmas is always a very unique and special holiday for us. The closer it gets here, the more I begin reminiscing about days gone by. God Bless..
@@NCMemoryMakers Yes. Very beautiful there. Wish we could have walked it, but we took our dog with us. She’s 14, and sleeps a lot in the evening. Forest City really puts on a superb job.
Beautiful display of Christmas lights.That is a funny story about the marshmallows. I like the Russian tea also, in fact I am going to make some tonight.
Nice video! I enjoyed seeing all the lights and some of the businesses in these places. I met you during the Granite Falls Tree Lighting a few weeks ago, what a pleasure. I live in Lenoir and was so glad to see you featured our small town in this video. I think our town committee did a great job decorating this year. McAdenville is over the top! I hope to see it for myself someday. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us! Merry Christmas!
Yes! We remember meeting you! Lenoir certainly did do a great job with the lights this year. One of our favorites that we went to. We especially liked the sleigh and the large present. Thank you for watching, and for commenting. Have a very Merry Christmas!
Thank you for sharing this. My family used to drive around and look at Christmas lights every year, but since 2020 no one else wants to do it. Last year I took a walk around the neighborhood but it was cold.
I keep going back and watching some of your older videos since i enjoy all your videos so much. Enjoyed seeing the Christmas Lights. Thanks again.
Thank you. So glad you're enjoying them.
A lot of beautiful lights
Yes, Tanglewood is a great place at Christmas.
Great video of Tanglewood! Ginger said thanks for the shout out for her and the prayers!
Absolutely! Hope she is still feeling better. Ya'll have a very Merry Christmas.

There are some really nice pictures online, of Forest City at Christmas. Is it really decorated as nice as it looks?

Nice job. That place is well worth the visit.
Yes, it is. We love it!

Thanks for letting us tag along to see the light show. Love all that you do.

Beautiful lights. Another place to go if you haven't is Guido Gardens in Metter, Georgia.
Thanks for watching!
I used to live in clemmons and from what I remember it usually takes 1 to 2 months to put all those lights up
I can imagine it would take about that long.
