When I was a kid, it was a big deal each year when the family would load into the Chevy and go in search of Christmas lights. I know I'm dating myself here (and why not? no on else will date me) but back then, it wasn't a matter of looking up such things on the internet. Nope. You had to know from experience which neighborhoods did the most decorating and there were no guides published telling families where to find those Christmas Decorations.

Several days ago, we asked you to share areas where a family might find great Christmas decorations so, thanks to all the technology, we don't have to guess about where to take the family for that traditional "Christmas Light Looking" adventure. With that thought in mind, here are a few places around the area where your sure to see some great lights and decorations
