Swiftmas is Back!

This is number 17. Every year, Amy and Brian Scott up the ante and build upon their prior season’s Christmas lights display in Naperville, Illinois.

2023 was very special. Featuring superstar Taylor Swift, the nationally reported “Merry Swiftmas” theme delighted young and old alike. You can check out that first Merry Swiftmas on the blog at https://cderus.zenfolio.com/blog/2023/12/merry-swiftmas

The 2024 Taylor Swift sequel is even better. After an eight-month respite from last year’s display, the Scotts began planning for 2024. They started by writing a simple mission statement: spread love and joy to as many people as possible while maintaining grace with the larger neighborhood.

This season highlights three of Swift’s albums. The Tortured Poets, Reputation, and Folklore albums are front and center.

The Shots

I recently visited 1228 Atlas Lane in Naperville on a quiet weekday at dusk. Below are some of the sights that caught my eye. If you’re a local, I’d encourage you to visit. It’s an energizing outpouring of “love and joy.”

I especially enjoyed the Scott’s own Eras poster. It features sixteen years of their outdoor holiday decorations.

Happy Holidays, and thanks for looking,

Chuck Derus
