I really do live in an area with some nice Christmas light displays. I've seen all the major ones by me this year as of now. I guess I decided to be organized this Christmas season. :)
The first one I like is in the city I live in. They're called Sparkle Balls because they're balls of lights and they sparkle. :) It's neat to see as you drive down the street. A neighborhood block started the tradition years ago, which has spread to surrounding neighborhoods in the same development. It really is cool and a great tradition to see every year. It's not overly gaudy and has been called almost Seussical by some, as the street twinkles in big balls of handmade lights.

Another traditional light display that I love is the lights tree on an office building in the city I was born in. My grandparents lived near this building when my sister and I were kids, so my mom would often drive us by this "tree" and say, "Look, girls! A Christmas tree of lights!" And we'd oooh and aaah.... :) I was thrilled this year because I finally captured the color in the now LED lights. A Facebook friend told me he also loved this tree as a kid and was happy I captured it this year.
Aaaand......It wouldn't be Christmas without capturing the housing development by me that goes overboard with Christmas lights each year. Granted, I love the spirit of this development each year, but it's a pain to drive around in. I guess I have to actually do what others are starting to do and park in the elementary school a short distance away and actually walk in....

Now that I've seen the lights for the season, I guess I can concentrate on other fun stuff. What should it be?
