Half the fun of Christmas is the lights. Whether it’s an elaborate, animated display, a yard full of reindeer or a simple string of bulbs wrapped around a porch rail, each dressed-up house brings a little light to the night and helps make the season a little more joyful.

Which house has the brightest lights in your neighborhood? The snazzy, zappy display? Which house is decorated with the best wreaths or timeless elegance? We’re putting together a map of the must-see Christmas decorations this year. Contact reporter Rebecca Rider at rebecca.rider@salisburypost.com or at 704-797-4264 to let us know which one is your favorite!
