Chad's Winter Wonderland

 Chad's Winter Wonderland is located between Lebanon and Mt Juliet just north of the Hwy 70 and Hwy 109 intersections.
It has eight acres of displays with life-size Native scenes, live animals, and ninety drive-thru arches decorated with Christmas Lights.
With Conway Twitty and Twitty Bird singing Happy the Christmas Clown,
 Ding-A-Ling, Christmas is for Kids, We wish you a Merry Christmas, Silver Bells, Frosty the Snow Man, Rudolph Red Nose Reindeer, and many other Christmas Songs.

We saw Frosty, Reindeer, Christmas trees, Christmas Train, carolers, Christmas Stockings, toy soldiers, angels, a manger scene with live animals, a helicopter,  airplanes, and Santa's Train.
We talked to Santa at Santa's Workshop. We saw a live-dancing Frosty Snowman.
The cost was $15.00 per car
It was very enjoyable.

We rode through Chad's Winter Wonderland at 6PM which took about 15 minutes.
We were about thirty minutes from Nashville so we decided to visit The Dancing Lights of Christmas at Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park.

Dancing Lights at Jelly Stone Park 

We paid $25.00, slid the top back on our van, climbed up stuck my head through the hole with my cell phone in hand. I began taking videos as we rode through hundreds of thousands of LED Christmas lights dancing to Rockn' Christmas tunes. The park also offers special rides on its firetruck but reservations for the Fire Truck must be made in advance.

We stopped at Fox 17's Santa's Village where there was a Santa Claus, family activities, a spider hum, inflatables, and a petting zoo. 

There were fires for roasting Marshmallows and a big screen TV showing a Christmas
movie

 It was beginning to sprinkle as we left Jellystone Park.
We rode to Opry Mills and stopped to look at the aquariums at the Aquarium Restaurant, and at the Lego Land Store to look at all the displays.

We exited the mall it was still a light rain as we headed to the van.
Traffic was light and the ride home was enjoyable.
At home, there had been severe storms and some tornados. We had missed all the bad weather just a little rain as we traveled home.
