7020 N Calispel St, Spokane, WA
The lights are hung by the gutters with care, in hopes that some passers-by soon will be there. The yard is guarded by the snowmen and soldiers, the manger is lit with the three wiseman, the carolers are singing outside the church and Santa's sleigh is filled with packages just waiting to be delivered. Come enjoy fantasyland if only for a few minutes, we are sure it will put a smile on the faces of the young and old. The music is charming, the scene is complete. Come by our home, we promise it's neat. Santa might even make a surprise visit to those who are nice, while those who are not had better think twice.

Feel like a princess when you walk down the blue-lit lane. You will find Santa stuck in the chimney, with a big Joy sign next to him. Look around and you will see Santa waving at you! Across the blue-lighted lane is the giant snowman family - they would love to sing to you, if they are not taking a break! The horse and carriage are taking presents to Grandma's house. Watch out for the deer, they are feeding. On the side of the house is the reason for the season. Happy Holidays to you all!

Lots of fun Christmas decor. Religious and secular. Lights all over. These are my neighbors and I smile every time I drive home and see this.
Post Falls
The Meadows
My father takes great pride in putting up lights every year and has motivated others to get into the Christmas spirit in our neighborhood. His display makes me think of the Griswold's in "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" and that surge of power shooting straight up from the Luxor in Las Vegas. The whole display is centered in the front yard with a beautiful nativity set that my father created which reminds everyone what the real meaning of Christmas is. Merry Christmas and a happy new year!
