There’s something very special about the drive around your neighborhood at this time of year, seeing the beautiful lights and decorations people put up outside their homes to brighten the dark winter. However, some homeowners have taken it to the next level, putting up elaborate light displays to rival Clark Griswold. There are even homes whose owners have gone all out, setting their displays to music for the ultimate festive experience! We’ve asked our realtors for a list of homes in their neighborhood that are worthy of a visit. So grab the hot chocolate, load the family into the car and take a drive around these local towns to marvel at the effort some people make for the Holidays.
