Holiday Lights: Hiroshima Edition

Holiday lights are a big deal all over the world. Hence, Santa’s long night.

Don’t worry, this display isn’t on your neighbor’s house. Yet. The picture was taken in Hiroshima, Japan, on what appears to be a castle made of scaffolding, but I could be wrong on that part.

How are your holiday lights coming along?

This post is part of UpTake’s Family Friday Series. This month the emphasis is on holiday lighting. If you see a display worth mentioning send us a photo via the contact link in the sidebar.

Holiday Road Trip? Here’s Some Music for You!

Guess what officially starts today?

I’m just sayin’.

You’ve probably got a lot of holiday travel in front of you, and as such, I thought you might enjoy some festive road music. Add these to your holiday road trip mix:

Holiday Mood by Apples in Stereo

Time of the Season by Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan

Electronic Santa by Blazer Force (aka Bret McKenzie of Flight of the Conchords and The Muppets soundtrack)

That Was the Worst Christmas Ever! by Sufjan Stevens

You’re welcome.

Here Comes Santa Mickey!

The holidays are in full swing at the Disneyland Resort, and magic is in the air!

Santa Mickey and Minnie Claus are ready to make your holiday wishes come true — or at least help you enjoy a churro. They’re givers.

Tune in next week for more holiday fun from the Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World.

Happy Thanksgiving!

This never gets old. The greatest Thanksgiving moment ever aired on television was on WKRP in Cincinnati, and it’s still funny.

Please note, no turkeys were hurt in the filming of this episode or the writing of this post.

If you’re traveling, be safe! If you’re waiting on some grub, then turn off the computer and go enjoy your friends and family. Also, football. And the dog show.

From all of us at the UpTake Vacations Blog to all of you in the internet, Happy Thanksgiving!
