Christmas Lights Shining Bright... in your community!

It isn't just the attractions that are decked out for the holidays. One of my favorite things to do (after everything else gets done) is to drive around and enjoy the lights displayed right in my own community. If you need a few suggestions, here are the ones that have made the news this year in Florida:

In South Florida

• The Palm Beach Post is your guide to the best neighborhood displays of this holiday season.
• The Miami Herald reports that Davie's Town Hall is decked out in lights and more for the season.
• More Broward Showstoppers compliments of the Miami Herald.
• The Sun Herald asks, "Have you seen the lights" in these Southwestern Florida neighborhoods?

In Central Florida

• Lights of Pinellas lists countywide events and light displays in St. Petersburg and all the beaches.
• The Ledger lists holiday lights in Lakeland, Winter Haven and Auburndale recommended by readers.
• Holiday lights brighten the Tampa Bay area from Hyde Park to Brandon and St. Petersburg/Clearwater to New Port Richey.

In North Florida

• WCJB in Gainesville has only one suggestion — check out this house.

And, finally... remember those attractions we talked about? Holiday lights really do brighten attactions.
