The Twelve Nights of Christmas Lights: Hello, Seagate Avenue!

The third night of Christmas lights we’re taking you for a ride down Seagate Avenue for a short look at this Jacksonville Beach block that was simply ablaze.  

The display is quite spectacular. If you’re driving on Penman Road at night, it will catch your eye as it did ours; we gasped as we drove past Seagate Avenue.  We knew we couldn’t leave without a short video for you so we turned the car around,  and cruised s-l-o-w-l-y past theses houses, the camera running. We had the accelerator down to about zero, and wouldn’t you there was a car right behind us the entire time?  We’re grateful they didn’t lay on the horn.  Thanks for that small mercy! Listen carefully – some homes even had audio embellishment.

If you can get out and see this block in person you won’t be disappointed; little kids will be enchanted by its magical mood.  Now this is what decorating for the holidays is all about.  Great work, Seagate at Penman!
