Our family has a tradition that is Covid proof! Every Christmas Eve we get dressed in our Christmas comfys and drive around and look at Christmas Lights. This a tradition I did with my family growing up and of course when I had a family of my own we do as well. My kids have assured me they will keep up the tradition with their families,too. Oh, and did I mention there are always Christmas carols being sung slightly off key! 

Here is a list of great places around Columbus to start or carry on this tradition with your family.
