Thanksgiving will soon be in the rearview mirror, which means for many that it is time to deck the halls.
If you need a little help getting into the holiday spirit, maybe a drive- or walk-thru Christmas light display will help.
Our list of Christmas light displays spans the Gulf Coast from Bellingrath Gardens in Theodore to Sowell's North Pole in Milton, Florida. The displays are magical and make for a treasured family tradition. This is likely not a complete list, so feel free to send us anything we should add to melanie@gulfcoastmedia.com.
