Dark comes early in the winter, but thankfully holiday lights bring a little cheer to the chilly evenings. While it is fun to just drive or walk around neighborhoods to see the lights, there are also several holiday light shows in the area where amazing light displays can be seen in a concentrated area. Plus the light displays are often accompanied by Holiday music and other entertainment.
