Send us some photos and/or links to videos of your Christmas light display. Please include the following information:

  • Preferred if homeowner submits his or her yard, or an immediate neighbor or close relative
  • Exact address of the lawn display
  • Dates and hours when your display will be available for viewing, so people aren't ringing your doorbell or bothering your neighbors in the middle of the night
  • Only a Christmas-decorated home you know will be there this year (do not submit a home recall from five or ten years ago)
  • The name of your display (if it has one)
  • Any special effects, such as singing trees, stuffed reindeer, live actors, etc.
  • Facebook page or website links (if you have)
  • A phone number (not for publication) in case Patch needs to contact you.
