7 Awesome Holiday Light Displays to Visit

By Maricarmen Chavez-Walker December 23, 2020

One of my favorite things to do is drive around and look at all the decorated houses with pretty lights. It's an activity that is fun for the whole family and relatively inexpensive. I prepare a small cooler with snacks, drinks, and treats so that while we are out everyone can munch along as needed. While we are sure there are more displays out there I've chosen to highlight the ones we enjoyed the most.
