Default Neighborhood Christmas Lights

The Daily Sun stopped posting neighborhoods with good light displays. Is there any other posting to see good viewing displays? Any neighborhoods worth visiting? I've coordinated our neighborhood caravan for years driving around the Eisenhower area. I'm particularly interested in neighborhoods south of 44 for some variation.

The Marsh View neighborhood in Marsh Bend; just west of the gate (east entrance by the softball fields) is a circle of homes with a brick street that have outdone each other. Every single house is decorated and its very pretty. I think they might be Premier Homes.

The Villages magazine (available at all sales offices and I believe country clubs as well) has their December issue out, with some areas being featured in their calendar of decorations. There's a golf cart parade in one are (Osceola maybe?). For those living in the Historic section, there will be a Lighted Golf Cart parade through the neighborhoods, where most of the carts will be lit up, and going through areas that are also lit up. That's coming up in a couple of weeks I believe. You can find more info on that on Facebook in the Historic Section page (not the Historic Sections SALES page - wrong FB page).

Because I had to wait for my roof to be repaired, I am late to have my display up. It's now up and will try to have it listed in the paper. So, please stop by, tune radio to 98.7 FM and enjoy the show at 3610 Quietwoods Drive - Village of Lake Deaton

And, we used that map to go around looking at all of them tonight - and we’re going again tomorrow!

Get a copy of the newspaper (if you don’t have a subscription go to any of the Rec Centers, the sales offices etc . . .) and it lists the ones that have been reported to the paper. On your way to them you might see some extraordinary light shows that weren’t reported.
