Christmas Light Displays

I feel like I am pulling teeth to get into the holiday spirit this December. With so much that is going on in my life right now; the miracle is that I am surviving the month. When I have had a free moment, I have tried to get out and take a look at holiday decorations. So here are 5 places you can travel to see light displays.
