This year we opted to shake up familiar holiday traditions and decided to embark on a limo ride around Rochester to look in on some of the city’s most festive and “craptacular” light displays.  Our three-hour ride took us from North Chili to Henrietta, Irondequoit, Pittsford, and Gates (maybe others too?) as we gazed on lights that were plentiful, tasteful, and tasteless.  Secular and nonsecular alike were visible as we cruised in the comfort of our eight footer…

…oh yeah, the libations.  What could be better for a limo tour of the holiday lights than Veuve Clicquot Brut?  Four of us tackled a first bottle of Yellow Label lightning-quick and savored a second as we rolled in comfort through Rochester’s finest and flakiest displays, noshing on cheeses, beef stick, crackers, and shrimp cocktail.

A new tradition is born?
