## Caption

From the Santa Claus barbequing light scene to the stop motion snowmen smiling and waving at me, Christmas in the Park at Longview Lake on Longview Road was nothing short of magical, and didn’t cost a penny besides donations.

With at least 200 different light displays, this tradition put on by Johnson County Parks and Recreation made me feel nostalgic. Each individual light piece felt homemade and put together for a winter wonderland. The lights felt straight out of a childhood coloring book, making me feel like I was sitting in the middle seat between my two older sisters driving around looking at lights like we did when I was younger.

As my dad drove up the road, Mariah Carey singing “All I want For Christmas is You” playing in the background, my mom and I saw warning posts in the ground that the light show started in 0.2 miles. I was slightly nervous because there was no trace of lights through the trees. I should have known to never doubt Johnson County Parks and Rec.
