So the season is upon us - let us know what the best neighborhoods are for Christmas lights. I'll start...

our neighborhood (Fratis St) is consistently one of the better streets - lights on many houses. Nothing to write home about, but it's pretty to see a lot of houses. I have been driving around have been disappointed with Praire Oaks and Willow Springs this year. You'd get 1 or 2 houses here and there, but no consistency.

My house,

OK, not really.


There is a court in Lexington Hills, don't remember the name of it, but I can drive around lost and usually find it. There is jagayman's house, he has the lights sychronized to TSO music. Dovewood Ct in Orangevale is always great.

Hey, its only November. Give people a break. :D: :-) We don't live in those neighborhoods, but my husband is still working on his new creations for this year and repairing old creations. Hopefully we will be up and running this weekend. :2thumbsup: :rudolph:

True, I guess I'm anxious to see lots of lights!
At least on my street, it seems more houses with lights puts pressure on others too!

Yes it does! Especially when someone who shall remain nameless (John) is up on their roof on Wednesday ;-) It's okay though. If there wasn't a little pressure, the hubby would put it off. Something about a fear of heights, the ladder, yada, yada, yada!

I have to agree though... When the Fratis houses are done, it does look really pretty when you turn off Stewart by the school.

Ledgemont Court. It is kind of funky to find. I think it's near Prewett, and then a couple more turns.

Briggs Ranch and surrounding neighborhoods on Christmas Eve.
My candles and bags were delivered last night. Now I'm hoping for a foggy Christmas Eve. The glow of the Luminary in the fog is awesome.
Where have all the flowers gone?

Not sure if I copied this link correctly. We'll see.
If not, the video can be found on YouTube with the title of: Christmas Lights Hillswood drive

Our light display is a little different from most displays. Clearly not as complicated and extensive as those that have the lights coordinated with music. But it fits us. As with most Christmas light displays, they are better in person than on video.

My wife, adult son and I went out tonight to see the light display at 156 Buckingham Way.

You have a great display and we tuned in to the music on the radio and it was great.
We forgot about the food for the Twin Lakes Food Bank so we may stop by tomorrow sometime
to put some in your box. If not we will donate directly to Twin Lakes Food Bank.

Thanks for the great display.
