Lights! And Trucks!

This weekend was our Christmas kickoff and we headed over to Victoria to watch the Island Equipment Owners Association Christmas Truck Convoy.

Otherwise known as the Truck Light Parade.  This is one of my FAVOURITE activities of the season. I originally started going because I had a little guy who loved trucks.  Now, I go because this is one of the most fabulous Christmas celebrations ever.

These people covered their trucks in Christmas lights. Completely covered.  I can't even imagine the effort this takes.  It's such a magnificent sight to behold.  Remember the goose bumps you used to get watching that Coke commercial with all the decorated trucks?

Well this is even better.  They are right up close, rumbling by, and the lights are so bright.

A truck convoy is pretty cool on it's own.  Now watch it at night; when each truck is coated in Christmas lights and you'll have enough energy and inspiration to enjoy every single crazy moment of the Christmas season.

Thank you Island Equipment Owners Association for a wonderful experience.  You guys did an outstanding job and it was so much fun to watch.
