We did manage to get pictures in areas where we could stop.... Here are some pictures in Pigeon Forge for you to see today.. Click on the pictures for larger shots.
The picture above is a neat little building along the road ---all decorated... We found out when we got home that this is the front of a big Holiday Inn in Pigeon Forge...
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
These next three pictures are neat since they all go together... These were taken at Patriot Park and show an EAGLE in motion.... The first one shows the eagle taking off. The second one shows the eagle picking up a fish for lunch... AND the third one shows the eagle in flight as he leaves with the fish.... Look at all three of them in sequence...
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Have a wonderful day --and I pray that you have all of your shopping done and are now relaxing and able to enjoy the real meaning of Christmas, the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
Hugs,
Betsy

Beautiful photos, Betsy, Wishing you and George a Merry Christmas.
I love the old mill photo and would like to have seen “The Twelve Days of Christmas” theme. We have visited the area a few times now but I think a Christmas time stopover is in the cards thanks to your recent posts showing all of the wonderful lights. Once again Betsy, Merry Christmas to you and George!

I would not have wanted the job of putting all of the lights on that tree.
It's wonderful how in the darkness the light does its best work and reveals all its glory!! Such great creativity with the eagle scenes! Thank you for sharing these with us!
Stunning photos.
Beautiful pictures..That eagle series is spectacular. I wonder how many lights are on that tree.
Looks like a pretty and fun trip! Merry Christmas
These are fantastic photos, Betsy! You and George manage to capture marvelous scenes everywhere that you go. BEAUTIFUL!
Very beautiful pictures. Have a very Merry and Blessed Christmas. May the Love of our Savior bless us all.
Wow!!! Gorgeous lights!! Beautiful tree in the last pic!
Wow, the lights there are just so fantastic!
my favorite today is the Old Mill, love that one. i know this place must just be stunning to drive through. can't even imagine it.
the old mill is beautiful, but that tree is my favorite. :)
Loved the old mill best. Hope you and George are all relaxed and ready to enjoy.
We took the trolley tour of lights a couple of years ago and also drove down that stretch. I agree they do a great job of decorating with lights. We enjoy the Old Mill Restaurant, too but our favorite place is the Tanger Outlet at Five Oaks - - - near the Apple Barn area in Sevierville.
What fantastic decorations for the season and marvelous captures, Betsy! I do love them all, but the Christmas tree is awesome! Hope your week is going well!

Oh my goodness. Do not want their electric bill. Wish I could bring my grandchildren there, they would love it.
These are such beautiful pictures, Betsy! They really get my holiday spirit in high gear! But can you even imagine what it took to decorate that amazing Christmas tree!
Hi Betsy, Great Christmas light displays! I miss seeing this type of display. Where I used to live in CA, a nearby neighborhood had a spectacular Christmas light display that went on for about 6 blocks and was an extravaganza - crowded too! Hopefully I will get to Pigeon Forge / Gatlinburg for Christmas next year. Have a wonderful day today and stay dry!
That is some tree! Our family has already celebrated, so now I can really relax (and enjoy the garden, too). I hope you have a very Merry Christmas!
I love the huge Christmas tree!!
I'm hoping to see a display of lights this evening around here.
I really like the old mill. I assume you live not far from Dollywood?
Such beautiful pictures, Betsy!!! No wonder you love the winter season. No such lights during the summer.
I think my favorite is the Old Mill, which is a beautiful place to visit anytime. Great shots, Betsy!
I think I'm done with Christmas shopping and I'm concentrating on cooking. Today I made tea cakes . .. not quite as good as Mama's were but I think they'll be eaten!! Now on to sausage balls! Merry Christmas to you and George!
Merry Christmas Betsy and George. Those lights are magical and bring me a warm feeling all over. I love this time of year when everything is sparkly and everyone is in the spirit of the holiday's. Bless you two sweetheart's.
Wonderful displays, Betsy, and the Christmas tree was so full of lights! There must have been thousands!
I am battling a bad cold so I am happy I celebrated Christmas a little early this year. Now I can relax and enjoy the "reason for the season" without distraction.
Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas filled with many wonderful blessings!
Lights alive there Betsy.
The lights are wonderful Betsy. We have yet to go out and look at the lights around town and it doesn't look like we will tonight, it's storming. I have almost everything done, hope to get over and see Mother close to Christmas and just put gingerbread in the oven for neighbors. And now it's starting to be calm. Diane
Another beautiful series of night shots of Christmas lights. My favorite is the eagle with the fish.
I love the old mill lit up like that! So pretty!
wonderful light displays. I love the old mill. That tree is awesome. I wonder how many lights it took to cover that tree
Those are gorgeous!!!
Really pretty pictures, Betsy. Wow! Love that tree! That's my favorite here. It's so gorgeous! :)
Such a gorgeous tree!
These are just as wonderful as I remembered them! That Christmas tree is gorgeous! Merry Christmas!
My only shopping has been a few Kindles and lots of donations.
I love that old mill and the eagle is amazing. It must have been so much fun to see all these displays in person.
I am pretty sure I wouldn't even recognize Pigeon Forge today. The last time I was there it was a small town with one main street and no median. It sounds like it has really grown.
Beautiful displays, Betsy, and the tree is awesome! It's just loaded with lights. So pretty!
I've got most everything done for Christmas except mailing a couple of cards to people I forgot and wrapping one more gift. Can you believe how fast the days are going? If I don't get online again, I wish you and George the very best Christmas ever!
Hugs, Cheryl

Gorgeous pics Betsy. I wish for you & George the best Holiday Season ever.
The light show is splendid. We are not up to taking car rides around the city this year but we are thankful all are well again.
Wow! Amazing creativity! Nice photos also. Merry Christmas Betsy!
love the tree and the old mill photo. I will have to enjoy PF through you. Peace
I love them all, Betsy. It reminds of Christmas at Disney's Epcot center.
I wish you and George a very Merry Christmas.
Peace be with you both,
Pam
So many beautiful lights Betsy! They are all so magical. I am ready for Christmas because ready or not - here it comes! :)
