People Come From All Over To See This Magical Christmas House In South Carolina

One of the things we love most about the festivities surrounding the holiday season is viewing all of the Christmas lights throughout the neighborhood. Hanging Christmas decorations, setting up display after display, and stringing tens of thousands of lights is a holiday tradition at more than one home in the Palmetto State. But there is one home, in particular, that goes all out every year and where the tradition has been handed down to the next generation.

This year marks the 45th year this family has carried on a Christmas tradition of lighting up the season with holiday cheer for others to enjoy. It's widely known as "The Christmas House" and generations of families, both near and far, have created a tradition of their own in seeing this magical display year after year.

What began in 1973 by James and Doris Blackwell, has been lovingly passed onto their daughter and her husband who carry on the holiday tradition at The Christmas House.

The drive-though only display of lights and seasonal decor is a hallmark event for many families that saw the lights as children with their parents — and now are bringing their own kids to share in the joy.

Tens of thousands of lights are brightly displayed beginning on Thanksgiving night and lasting through December 31st. From a nativity scene to Christmas trees of all colors and sizes, brightly lit animal figure and displays, and even a grand Christmas tree out back with a model train rolling on a perfectly round track at the base, this is one holiday lights display that inspires peace on Earth and goodwill to men, women, and children alike.

The Christmas House is located near Lake Bowen at 360 Foster Rd., Inman SC 29349. Lights are turned on from 5:30 p.m. until 10:00 p.m. beginning Thanksgiving evening and continuing through New Year’s Eve 2018. For more information, visit the Facebook page. The event is free, but we’re betting donations of any size are greatly appreciated.

The lights on display at The Christmas House are for a drive-through experience only. (For your safety, you should remain in your car.)
