Best Christmas Lights in Memphis

If these are not the best lights in Memphis, I dare you to send me the address of the ones you've found.



For part two I decided to wait and get a full shot of what has become the classic hard rock Christmsas light song and for good reason... all was well until minivan mom pulled up and decided to do what I can only compare to someone standing in front of the TV while you are trying to watch it. So I had to improvise.



And yes, that was me who honked at them.

Many of you might have seen this article in the commercial appeal recently that told the story. In case you were wondering... his electricity bill only goes up $50 during the holidays since he buys LED lights every year after Christmas. Why does he do it? "I can't help myself. What I love most is watching people in their cars as they watch the show," he said. "I love seeing them singing along and seeing their reactions. I think it brings joy to others, and isn't that what Christmas is about?"

The owner Mr. Vorwerk plays "Joy to the World" only once a season: As the clock strikes midnight and Christmas Eve becomes Christmas Day. "There usually aren't that many cars out in the street to hear it, and even if people do hear it, they probably don't realize it's the only time the song is played, but I know it," Vorwerk said. And after all, if not for His birth, there wouldn't be lights."

Go There:

For those familiar to Quail Ridge golf course, this is right next to the clubhouse and was about 15 minutes from 38117.
