Mix up the hot cocoa, don't forget the marshmallows, and get everyone in the cruiser for Christmas decoration tour. Next stop, just off Hwy 251 in Machesney. 

Has your family been driving around the Stateline, checking out holiday light displays. Is it just me, or do there seem to be many more elaborate displays, than in years past?

What do your kids love seeing on houses and front yards the most? If you said they love inflatables the most, this is about to be the best nighttime car trip ever.

For years, I have passed this house and always had to look from afar... at least that's what I thought. Turns out, you CAN drive down this house's driveway.I'm talking about he Trickie house at 9316 North 2nd Street (Highway 251) in Machesney Park. That front yard of this house might just have the largest inflatable Christmas display ever.

To get to the house, you'll need to use the frontage road. You can drive down their driveway but they ask for you to please remain in your car. As you're about to see in the video below from Stateline Kids, the Trickie house front yard is filled with over 100 inflatables.
