In brief: Tell us about light displays

Flickering, multi-colored light displays have become as much a part of Christmas as Santa himself. We want to help you find the best shows in town.

If you’ve got a holiday light display, or if you want to recommend a neighbor’s house, just go to spokesmanreview.com/ holidaylights and tell us all about it. Whether you’ve got some simple, modest decorations or your block is lit up like Las Vegas, we want to hear about it.

Later this month, you’ll be able to go back to the Web site and map your own neighborhood light tour. We’ll also publish a list of displays in the newspaper.
