What towns/neighborhoods/streets are looking really festive?

Love taking the kids for a Christmas Eve ride to see the sights!

Take a ride in Laconia to Edwards Street. You missed the neighborhood open house for this year. It was 12/8. They have Santa delivered via Laconia fire truck. They also offer food ie hot dogs, popcorn, cookies, hot chocolate. It is still worth the trip to drive through for the lights. Lots of people work very hard for their open house. Watch for it next year.

Enjoy...

Great suggestions from all! Thank you!

We had a family tradition, when I was a child, of going on a ride on Christmas Eve to see the lights. We'd stop at Dunkin' Doughnuts (back when they made the doughnuts in the store and were 24-hours) to get sweets and cocoa. Then, we'd go through town (I'm from Sanford, Maine) and then into Kennebunkport to see the sights.

This is the good stuff - good memories.
