For me, Christmas lights are the best part of the holidays! I can't get enough of the twinkly lights and huge blow up Santa's. Our family loves to pile in the car in our pj's with hot cocoa and candy canes every Friday to go check out some of these local displays. We have gathered some of our favorites both near and far (if you're up for a road trip) for you to check out with your family. Did we miss one? Tell us in the comments section and we will add it to our list!
