No, that’s not the lyrics to a song. But it is a pretty good description of the 8 million lights stretching for more than five miles marking the 17th Annual Fantasy in Lights at Callaway Gardens. The spectacle creates more than a dozen larger-than-life holiday scenes. The holiday glow begins November 14 through December 30 in Pine Mountain, Ga. What’s even more enlightening is that Callaway Gardens recently became the first resort in the Southeastto offset 100 percent of its electricity use by purchasing wind powercredits. Every kilowatt of power is compensated with “green” power. Known as the brightest light show in the South, the area offers a numberof interesting holiday packages.
