just like back in the 70's when the rust belt collapsed and everyone up north moved here in a year....millions of people. There weren't enough apartments or houses built beceause the population of Houston doubled in 5 years and they never saw it coming. You can't build 10, 50 mile highways in a year. Hardly any suburbs either. They were sleeping in tents under bridges and in the parks and the woods, a lot of rusty RV's. Then they all bitched about it and everything else, except they found jobs everywhere as our schools were so overcrowded overnight they had to bring in thousands of mobile homes for classrooms. I remember it well. And then a few years later the economy collapsed here because of Jimmy Carter and his oil deals with Iran and everyone was screwed. (Biden part 2). 8 year old houses for sale for $20,000 and nobody had any money to buy one.

Because you folks are so thirsty for what the social media says is cool so you all try to do the same exact thing .just like when the first little cold front comes in you all buy up all the fritos corn chips .but any other time of the year there is no one buying them .unbelievable .
Wow so many hateful comments to towards family’s wanting to have some Christmas fun together. How dare they want to play in snow (in Texas where we never get it, see Christmas lights on a hayride, etc. and have some Christmas magic for their kids? ). Acting like these families are horrible or stupid people. You should be ashamed of yourselves. If you’re going to spew vitriol at anyone how about the venue itself for allowing too many people to buy tickets to be properly enjoyable for the people going?
Seriously, what is it people expect when it's a holiday weekend??? This is news??? Build a fire pit in the back yard, make hot chocolate, string lights, play Xmas music, and save your money for better things.
Fellow Gulf Coast resident here, Gpt MS. We think differently. Big public social events are fun, but I'd rather do something with family and friends in the backyard, with the beers and a hot smoking bbq.
@@krisb3939 my grandmother's neighborhood did that years ago. Each neighbor would try to outdo the next. As the years went by more & more people would drive through to look at the houses. Then people started to park, and walk around the neighborhood to look at the lights. And every year, during the holidays, the number of break ins skyrocketed.
Americans love doing things that require sitting in line, in their cars… ever seen a Starbucks Drive Thru in the morning? Or a Chick-fil-a at lunch time?
If you've gotta buy tickets months way in advance. You know its going to be insanely packed. I'd find something else for my family. To hell with that. 😅
Can't help but wonder if better public transportation infrastructure would have alleviated this. After all, they were across the road. I think extreme car dependency is tragically hilarious, feel sorry for the kids though.
People are stupid pay for something you never got to see I’d be outraged 🤬 save your money and just drive around your neighborhood to see lights we do it every year on Christmas Eve than go home have hot chocolate and open some presents 🎁
Traffic has always been That way ,it's a very popular Christmas visit ,it's like renfest ,you park in a field ,if its been raining parking in certain fields become problematic , it is an absolute blast ton of fun and christmas sights,music great seasonal food ,yummy made real hot chocolate ,coffees and Christmas sweets, bummer you didn't wait you sure missed the fun folks!
We went there a couple years ago and had no problem. Ever since I get emails starting in the summer to buy discounted tickets, this is your last chance but then I get another one a month later saying this is your last chance to buy discounted tickets, etc.
Went yesterday (12/02/21) on a Thurday evening. Bought tickets while on sale and got the rudolph parking lot pass. We had a blast!!!!! I agree that IT IS confusing when looking for the correct entrance for each parking lot! Prancer lot is first and if you pass it then its Rudolph parking etc..
They shoulda had it at the Astrodome. Traffic would be the least of their problems. LOL! Or how about go shopping instead, at the Galleria and get mugger or stabbed in the parking lot?
We went a few years ago and the worker told us each year the crowd is bigger than previous years. We last went in 2019. It was enjoyable but definitely overcrowded. Barely any space to walk without bumping into anyone.

I would have demanded a refund if I didn't even get a chance to get inside. But then again I WOULDN'T HAVE SPENT $300 ON THIS. And who knows, there might be a lawsuit for people having to spend 6hrs sitting in their cars. These times are getting ridiculous
I bet Santa is only making $15/hr.
$5 an hour more than he's qualified for!
Too many people have moved here and there isn’t enough infrastructure to support them.

So...it's also the holiday season....stop being a scrooge.
