BLUFFTON CHRISTMAS PHOTOS AT BOTTOM OF THIS STORY.

Why bundle up and brave the cold winter winds - we're kidding - just to look at Bluffton's outdoor Christmas lights?

The Icon offers this armchair view of the residential lighting winners and the downtown business window winners.

Judges from the Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce selected the residential winners and each received chamber gift certificates.

Downtown businesses voted to the three window winners.

An extra to this scrapbook of photos is Beverly Amstutz's 2015 Christmas card cover, "A Christmas from the Past."
