Show Off Your Holiday Spirit

Outdoor decorating efforts that range from extravagant displays of lights and animated figures to elegant street scenes lit by softly glowing luminaria have come to be a way we share our holiday spirit.

The Times Orange County will present its annual guide to the county’s best-dressed residential areas Dec. 13. It will feature neighborhood holiday displays that involve a number of homes rather than spotlighting individual efforts.

If your street, cul-de-sac, block or tract is lighting up this season, please let us know by writing to Lynn O’Dell at The Times Orange County, 1375 Sunflower Ave., Costa Mesa, CA 92626, or calling her at (714) 283-5685.

Give us the name of your street and city; what your site entails; the hours people can drive or walk by to see your display; and the name and phone number of someone we can contact for more information. Deadline is Dec. 6.
