With light snow falling, Bob Bessette and I left my house at about 6:15 p.m. on December 19, 2004
Hopefully we have the right names -- Feel free to send me any corrections -- We did our best

Our first picture we took was on Maple Street of The Weber Residence where Dorothy King used to live.
Thank God Bob Bessette was with me to remind me that last year I didn't use the flash when I took the photos, otherwise the Christmas Tour 2004 might be titled:
"SNOW FLAKE BENTLY RIDES AGAIN"

We went down Lower Hunt Street and spotted the Marco, Von Lepel residence all lit up

Then on the way back up through stopped to take a picture of Karen Charbonneau's house

Then up the road a bit to Jim & Lena Meunier's house

Mike Cain had the Fairfax Historical Society all decorated up, he had added a wreath this past Saturday, so I used my flash, otherwise it would not have shown up

Bill Skipp & Heather Massie have done a great job decorating the old Hubbert House on the Huntville Road

Further up the road we snapped a picture at the Steinhour/Hakey residence

We then went up Carrol Hill Road and a rather unique decoration with The Grinch on one side of the house and The Three Wise Men on the other side

Then over the hill and through the woods to Snowcrest Road on Windtop where we snapped a picture at the Peyrat residence

Then the Langlais/Lussier residence

This Blue and white light mix on the trees made for a very peaceful look up on The Bessette Road

We then hit Route 104 and headed North towards St. Albans, stopping at Bill Blair's residence to take this photo

Although we had taken a photo of Florence Magnan's House last year, tried from a different angle to get more of the lights

Roger & Donna Meunier's House further south on Route 104 had their Upsydaisy open for business sign out along with their Christmas lights on

No street lights needed to light the way as shown above at the Justin Hayes Family Residence on Hillcrest Road

Jim & Jean Groseclose on the Fletcher Road have a rather unique decoration in their front lawn - When you drive by during the day, it looks like the photo above

However when you drive by at night, it looks like this
