The Christmas light display known as "The Light Of Life" have been around for many years, but I had never been until this year. It was not what I was expecting and I mean that in a good way. In a time when holiday light displays are over the top, jammed with cell phone staring zombies and price gouging; this was a nice step back in time for me.

The experience had a retro feel like I was walking in a landscape from a 1980s music video. All I needed was Mannheim Steamroller's snazzy version of Deck The Halls playing to make it complete. The feeling it gave me had its charm and appeal. If you go with that mindset, you will not be disappointed. It is not the
Instagram influencer, glitzy scene and for that reason alone, it was
worth it to avoid those types.

The temperatures were in the thirties so the cold weather added to the night. It was fun to walk around at my own pace without feeling like cattle through the displays that are spread over a few acres of the Life University campus.

It was not busy, but not enough people were there to not make it seem dead. The smaller crowd made it easier to take my time and wander through the displays without feeling rushed. It was peaceful and relaxing compared to other light displays that attract the bigger crowds around North Georgia.

It is also reasonably priced at ten dollars per vehicle when many of the more extravagant displays *cough botanical gardens of Atlanta* charge between $30 and $50 per ticket and offer silly premium VIP packages to see Christmas lights, like it is some kind of spa/healing experience. A fool and his money, I say.
