Tough Competition For Best Outdoor Christmas Light Display In United States

According to timeout.com,

When it comes to the best Christmas lights in the USA, some folks tend to go over the top.

 

Decking the halls with boughs of holly and a traditional Christmas tree and wreath seem sedate compared to these elaborate displays of Christmas affection that incorporate as many tiny bulbs as there are dollars in our national debt.

The standard has been set for what it takes to have a top-rated outdoor Christmas light display. The leader of the pack is Clark Griswold, the main character from one of the greatest holiday movies of all time, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. If you're not ready to take it to that level, I suggest dropping out right now.
