If you have not taken a hay ride during the holidays to take in the sights and sounds of Christmas, have you even lived? When I was younger, some of my best memories were piling on the back of a trailer (or trailers) that someone from my church lent us to ride through the streets of my hometown to sing Christmas carols. 

This was a highlight for my school and church friends and myself as we would bundle up, sip hot cocoa and spend a couple of hours rolling through town, singing, marveling at the lights, especially those neighborhoods that went all out and just have an amazing time!

If you have never had this type of experience as a child or an adult, now is the time and I have the perfect suggestion for you!
