If you do not feel like paying money to see Christmas lights, than you can take your family to the Hollytree gated neighborhood. The fancy houses are each decorated with amazing displays of colorful lights. A couple houses even have a radio station that you can tune into to and watch a light display that goes along with the music. Many of the house’s Christmas light display are amazing.
But there is one huge down side to going to the Hollytree neighborhood, and that is traffic. Every year as you first pull into the neighborhood you are greeted by an extremely long line of cars and horrible drivers. I always feel bad for the people that live in the neighborhood that are just trying to get home.
One of the first houses you will see when you drive into Hollytree in Tyler Texas does one of the biggest light displays every year. They rent out a radio station that goes along with their colorful and vibrant Christmas lights. My kids love to go here and see all the different lights! I think that going through this neighborhood is a fun and free way to celebrate Christmas and spend time as a family.

With the summer heat rising already, keeping cool is becoming more and more difficult. So if you’re sitting in traffic either on South Broadway, or on troop highway, and you see the sign for Braum’s Ice Cream, consider making a quick stop. The variety of ice cream is second to none. On a hot Tyler Texas afternoon a cool scoop of peppermint ice cream is the most refreshing thing this East Texan can think of, unless of course you throw in a cherry lime-aid. By the way, the Braum’s cherry lime-aid is just about the best drink in town that doesn’t require an ID to buy. It’s a great blend of both tart and sweet.
Although their signature items are dairy products, Braum’s also offers conventional lunch time foods like burgers and fries.
So whether you’re on your way home from work or a day at the lake, escape the traffic for a few minutes and make your commute a little less tedious. Swing into Braum’s for a cone and a cold drink. It might even become part your summertime routine.
