New generation are being raised with ourt any knowledge of God and have no idea there is life after death and a more wonderful life than this one.

So what's the age group you ASSUME this about? And do you say "THOSE PEOPLE" as you clump them all in one box?!!!!

Early post I used

Xmas Lights in The Villages - Xmas Lights in The Villages - Google My Maps

Elderly parents might enjoy the Spanish Springs section of lights the best.

There is a wonderful display just off 475. If you go north on 475 then turn left on 475B. It may cost to go through but you can see it from 475. Looks amazing. Good luck

Because in the NORTH we have CHRISTMAS SPIRIT! JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON!

Following is the location of just one display, but it's magnificent.

Lady Lake Chamber of Commerce
106 US-441, Lady Lake, FL

Hopefully your parents are mobile, because it's best to park the car, get out and walk around the small park they have decorated. It's worth the trip.

The Ocala Christmas Light Spectacular is located in the Florida Horse Park just south of Ocala. It is a 2 mile drive through event with elaborate light displays. $20 per carload.

It is in ride order from to loop through the neighborhoods. We used it as a starting point, and made a lot of detours as we saw other lights on the way and around these.

Hazelwood loop in Chatham has several houses with great displays

[Redsmom]

I believe it’s the Village of Santo Domingo, at the corner of Enrique Dr., and Esparza place is a house with the lights and music synchronized. I think you turn your car into FM 106.3? Haven’t been there yet but a lot of people on Nextdoor were talking about it.

[Redsmom]

If you are going through Wildwood, On Main Street approximately across from the vintage train store (which is at 113 North Main St) the city has an amazing light display.
