Holiday light displays to see?

Hello parents! My 6 year old and 2 year old have decided that they are REALLY into the holiday lights this year. In an effort to reduce our pollution levels from driving all over the place in search of spectacular displays, could anyone tell me where some really good (meaning lots of lights) displays are? We know of one cul de sac near the high school and also the grouping off 305 near Seabold. Any others you might recommend for the young and young at heart? Thanks so much and have a wonderful season with your families!

Let me get this straight, in an effort to reduce pollution levels by driving around you’re asking where the best and brightest Christmas displays are? Never mind that the bigger light displays waste more electricity forcing an increased cole consumption from our power plants. The island is only 27 square miles, most of which are forested area. Stop being lazy and take a drive down the handful of main streets we have her and stop passing this pretense off as being environmentally conscious. You’re not fooling anyone.

Actually seen off Byron. A friend of mine who lives on Byron let her cat out into her backyard in the morning, and sat down to drink her tea, looked out and saw a coyote run across her yard with her cat in its mouth. She dashed out and screamed thinking she could startle it into dropping the cat, but the coyote just kept going. Later she heard that coyotes do kill immediately when they pick an animal up. This was a beloved kitty (I think about 5 years old, so not old, slow or sick), who will be much missed. So, if you live in that area, think twice about letting your cats be outside at all.

It’s interesting to me how in the same month, the island can support a dog spa that advocates, “Every pet is a unique individual who deserves to look their best” yet we can’t afford this same right to the native animals, even if it does mean letting them feast on a few cats here and there. Here’s an idea. Keep your cats inside. There’s a reason animal shelters request keeping indoor cats after you rescue or adopt them. We don’t need a cat infestation here, thats disgusting. Luckily there are coyotes out there for population control. You should be proud that you and your pet are doing their part to sustain the island’s natural ecosystem by feeding these important keystone species. I also don’t think that you could consider a five year old cat a kitten. But I like how you tried to cover your bases for all of the other self absorbed out there who would think “My cat is not old, sick, or slow so surely this doesn’t pertain to me and as such I couldn’t possibly be affected by it.”
