Many have begun preparing for the holidays by hunting for gifts, with deals, for friends and family. Others find the true meaning of the season by Making A Difference for those in need. This year give yourself the gift of supporting the local economy by shopping in your neighbourhood.
Aside from driving around the city viewing the many wonderful individual lighted seasonal displays, there are many enlightening public Christmas light displays for everyone to enjoy. Many are free, some ask for donations for charity, while others charge a small fee to continue bringing the festive displays year after year.
