After seeing colorful fall scenes in our neighborhood this year, we now get to see festive holiday displays, courtesy of our neighbors.
It could be hard to make time to drive around and see the displays, so we’re here to help. If you missed Halloween and fall decorations from around East Dallas, click here.
But don’t be afraid to show off your lights, too. Send some photos to Renee at rumsted@advocatemag.com.
