Default Do you have any big Christmas light displays in your area?

The biggest one near us is Mcadenville. We usually take the kids the 2nd week in December to see it.

We have another big one called Tanglewood but they charge $12 to ride through it.

We are going to see the Biltmore House this year too since we have season passes.

We used to. There was this guy who owned a factory around here that had one at his house! They even had made a driveway so people could drive through it. But then a couple years ago someone got into an accident coming out of it and sued the guy claiming the lights distracted him so he doesn't put it up anymore. Such a shame! It was really great

We have several neighborhoods near us that go all out and we drive through them several times during the holiday season. There are a couple of places near us that you can pay to drive through but we never have. I would rather go through the free ones since they are closer and we can just go spur of the moment.

We used to live in Clemmons and I loved Tanglewood, but, of course, nothing can top Biltmore! I miss NC somedays!!!

-There is a home not far that we called the Grizwold's. Everything is lit up and he stands out in the driveway in a Santa suit and hands out candy canes. It's great.

-There is a cemetary that we drive through that has displays and sometimes a live nativity scene that is free.

-There is another one that costs money that goes to a charity. We don't always go to that one.
