The 2017 Christmas Lights Sightseeing Tour Master List
Freeport, Illinois — One of the most treasured parts of the Christmas season for many of us are certainly all the decorations people display around their homes and lawns. Everywhere you go, the darkness is lit up with the most colorful strings of lights and decorations imaginable. At some places, it’s like a full on show.
You know that every single display whether big or small was done because someone else also appreciates the sharing of the holidays with others.
Most of our viewers know how much we love the holiday lights. The lights put a smile on our faces and create the most amazing expressions on the faces of children of all ages. And as we drive down the streets in our city, the lights give off a feeling of magic and warmth we know that many others, feel the same way.
So with the help of our viewers, we’ve put together a master list of all the places to take a drive by this holiday season. While it doesn’t represent every home with lights or decorations, here is a list of the ones definitely worth putting on your holiday sightseeing tour list.
We would like to make this ongoing as well, so if you know of others anywhere within Stephenson County, feel free to tell us and we’ll add them to the list below.
