    [ad_1]

    It’s (almost) the most wonderful time of the year, and neighbors across the Charlotte area are ready to bedazzle their homes, porches and lawns with dazzling light displays that scream “happy holidays.”

    Locals are sure to go all out with their seasonal decor, from inflatables to twinkling icicle lights, animated reindeer, colorful garland and giant candy canes to line the driveway.

    We’re looking to feature of the best neighborhood light shows in the city — and we need your help.

    Around this time of year, our team would usually fan out across the metro in search of the best homes and neighborhoods with cheery lights and decor. This year, we invite you to nominate your neighbors (or yourself!) for putting on the most festive display in town.
