You're gonna hate me for this...

In our post on Saturday, November 9, we told you about the Christmas decorations that would 'go live' in Gatlinburg on Wednesday, November 13.  We promised to post some pictures.  So here's a photo, just for you.

Oh, you thought I was going to show you the lights at night, when they're so brilliant - instead of during the day when they aren't anything special?!

Well, to be honest, that is exactly what we had in mind, too.  But we got all the decorating done early at All Decked Out and Smoky Mountain Tower, so we were able to head for home before Wednesday night, when the lights were turned on.  Under the circumstances, this was the best I could do.

But wait, there's hope!  You can type "Pictures of Gatlinburg at Christmas" into Google and get lots of photos.  Better yet, make a trip to Gatlinburg between now and February 28, stay with us at Smoky Mountain Tower or All Decked Out, and see the lights for yourself.  If you do, I don't think you'll hate me so much!
