Before dinner, Charlie drove us through Gatlinburg ---but we didn't get any pictures then. BUT--my Sweetheart later (after we got back to the room) walked back down toward town and took a bunch of great photos... Hope you enjoy seeing some of Gatlinburg all lit up for the season!!!! In the picture above, you can see the Space Needle sticking up in the distance... Anyone who has ever spent time in the 'burg has been to or seen the Space Needle. Click on the pictures to enlarge them...
Want to take a walk through the lights????
I have many more pictures to show you ---but that will be next week. There were fabulous pictures in Pigeon Forge and we walked around Patriot Park and took patriotic pictures... SO---that will be next week. Hope you enjoyed some pictures from Gatlinburg today.
Have a wonderful weekend --and I'll see you on Monday.
Hugs,
Betsy

Very colorful and festive lights/decorations. Hope you have a nice weekend.
Beautiful captures of Gatlinburgs Christmas lights. Hubby, son and I have visited Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and the Smokey Mtn Park and Loved it. It is a gorgeous place to visit. Thanks for sharing your trip.
That almost makes even an old poop like me feel festive! Love 'em!
Great pics....was in Gatlinburg yesterday. So beautiful.
Gorgeous light displays. I enjoy seeing what others have done,but don't go to great lengths to decorate outside,myself.
If these pictures don't get folks into the holiday mood, nothing will!
Love the archway of lights! George got some great pictures. :)
They definately go all out to attract winter time visitors. George got some pretty shots.
Great shots. We loved Gaitlinburg when we visited. Very festive.
Darryl and Ruth :)
these are wonderful, i would like to do that walk through the lights thing. they really do go all out and you got great shots of the lights and they are nt easy to take.
Wonderful pictures! George did good!! We drove through there on one of our late Fall vacations and they already had the light up. They were very beautiful and they were EVERYWHERE!
What pretty lights!
Have a great weekend, Betsy!
I was in Gatlinburg just once. Wish I'd stayed there. I didn't see any of it really because it was just a drive through.
Oh, I need to go there!
Betsy, they are just as beautiful as I remembered them! They always do such a wonderful job decorating for Christmas in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge!
I've never been there, but they say it's really beautiful!
I like the lighted, arched walkway shot! =)
Merry Christmas to you, George & his dad!!! =)
Gorgeous pictures!
Wow,and I thought Gatlinburg was lit up pretty grand year round. They really do go all out for Christmas.
i like the archways!
What a nice camera to capture all those wonderful sights! Senior Hiker has a terrific eye!
Loved all the Christmas lights Betsy. I was in Gaitlinburg several years ago but never at this time of the year.
Way to go, George! Those are some great photos.
Thanks for sharing those beautiful pictures with us you two! Blessings for the Christmas countdown!
I love that area and do so enjoy seeing the lights. You make me feel as though I was there. I am getting me a camera that takes night shots.
Great photos, so glad I found your blog. (o:
Wonderful pictures as always Betsy, the funny part is around my way I'm not seeing as many folks with Christmas lights like i thought i would. A very rough year for most folks maybe being some of the reason. Richard
Lovely lights Betsy!!!! Have a lovely Christmas and I hope your health keeps getting better!!!
xoxox
I love all these pictures!!! It was a hard choice, but my favorite has to be the beautiful horse!! It was so sweet of George to walk back and take pictures just for you!!! But for his blogs, too, I'm hoping. I am so dumb about this that I actually have always thought the Space Needle was in Seattle! Go ahead and laugh, but this was a big shock to me, ha ha ha!!
They do awonderful job with the lights Betsy. These are beautiful. Diane
Real nice Christmasy Lights Betsy.
Thanks for the light pictures. They really go all out with the lights. Just beautiful.
I love Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge!
These pics make me want to see it in all this festive glory.
For anyone who hasn't been, I loved the acquarium. A few years ago at least it was wonderful.
Have a great weekend Betsy!
I've been looking forward to these photo's. Senior hiker did a good job! Can't wait to see more.
We like to stay at Zoders Inn which isn't too far from the Rocky Waters Motor Inn I believe.
I do believe Smokies around Christmastime is one of my favorite times to visit, so magical !
George did an awesome job on the pictures, I feel as if I've had a little getaway :)
Thank you for sharing, and glad to hear you both had a wonderful time !

Those are gorgeous Betsy. A friend of mine used to work at that aquarium so we went in real cheap....free. :)
Now I don't have to go driving around looking at Christmas lights. I can just blog around. Very nice!
I love that area around Christmas time. We used to go to Dollywood to see the lights. They are so pretty when you ride the old train above the park.
We've had a really yucky day today with quite a bit of rain and cooler temperatures.
Merry Christmas

Love, love Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, but we've never been at Christmas! These are wonderful pics!!
I didn't realize they decorated with all those lights there. It's beautiful. You guys always have the best of times together. sandie
So much eye candy going on here, I love it all.
Thanks for sharing your Gatlinburg pics.
Have a joy-filled weekend, Betsy.
Be well n happy,
Pam :)
So much sparkle and beauty over here Betsy! It makes me happy! Hope you and your sweetie have a super weekend!

Goodness, I saw the Space Needle and thought you must be in Seattle. I didn't realize there was one in Gatlinburg. Of course that just shows how long it's been since I've been there. I love all the pretty lights.
Hope you and George have a great weekend!
Hi Betsy, I have been to Gatlinburg once and that was in August. Tons of people - wall to wall people then. Good to hear that there are times to go when it is not crowded. Have a wonderful weekend!
Gatlinburg is very pretty at Christmas! Beautiful photos, Betsy, looks like you and George had a great time!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Good old George walking back into town to take the photos. They are excellent too. The town really do a great job with the lights. It is so pretty. I would like to walk under the lights. have a good weekend. Ours has started.
Thanks for the holiday treat George!! I love that horse too.
Best,
Bonnie
Light displays at Christmas are always so beautiful and cheerful. If they can't make you smile and feel happy, there must be something wrong with you :-) Beautiful!
Wow, they go all out for Christmas don't they. That must have been like walking in a winter wonderland. Well minus the snow anyway :)
I love that rocking horse you could see from your hotel. All the Christmas lights pictures are pretty.
I visited Gatlinburg many years ago and found it beautiful. It looks even prettier all lit up for Christmas! I've been visiting my grandkids the past week ...such good times!
Great shots, Betsy. I would like to see this in person. Maybe someday. MB
You weren't kidding...they do go all out for Christmas!!!
Love all the festive photos!
xoxo
I would never tire of see these beautiful Christmas lights and sights.
Betsy, in answer to your questions. I am younger- my sister lives 2 miles away and we talk every day- my brother is 41/2 yrs younger than me and lives in New Jersey where we were all born.
How beautiful lights in Gatlinburg!
What a wonderful "season" Christmas is!!!
Cheers

Patsy, great photos of some great lights! Glad George sneaked back to get them for you, and for the rest of us! Yep, Gatlinburg is a touristy place, but it's still just wonderful! So glad you had a good time while there. It's been quite a few years since we were able to go!
Thanks for all your sweet comments on my blog! Yes, I am really enjoying the hummingbirds this winter!
I clicked to leave my comment, and went "Patsy?!" Yep, I think I just called you Patsy! Forgive me! It must be the altitude! :-)
What an amazing display, Betsy! I love the Christmas horse and the tower of lights.
Wow beautiful! Lovely X'mas decors.
Thanks for thinking about me. Find it difficult to keep up with blogging with my current commitments.
I'm doing fine and will not give up blogging :) I will visit your wonderful blog whenever I get a chance.
Christmas is endearing,
Very beautiful pictures,
I wish peace and happiness these days,
Happy Holidays!.
a hug.
More lights I wish I could see in person! Tell George he done good!
I can't leave my girls, but I sure would like to be in Tennessee one more time for Christmas!
I had to go back and find this one that I missed during the busy weeks before Christmas. Beautiful lights. Does George use his tripod to take the lights? Again, Gatlinburg gives me smiles and memories. So glad you all had a wonderful trip together. Thanks for sharing Christmas time in Gatlinburg.
Aw...you have a terrific life! Always sharing these fabulous photos with us! I love the holiday lights! Christmas is such a spectacular time of year. Aw...sweet! Thank you!
