Reno Neighborhoods Light Up For Christmas

Now is the time to enjoy taking an evening drive around the Truckee Meadows to view some of the homes lit up for the holiday season. When I was a kid, my parents took us out to see the light displays, and I did the same when mine were little. There's something magical about the lights that makes everyone smile and enjoy the holidays just a bit more. With all the snow, things have really taken on the White Christmas look, but please be extra careful negotiating the icy streets and roads.

To find some of the best displays, check out Map of holiday light displays around Reno, Sparks in the online Reno Gazette-Journal. There is an interactive map with locations and if you know of a display that isn't shown, you can request that it be added. One of those listed is Lights of Tanea at 16180 Tanea Drive in south Reno. There is a spectacular light display and accompanying music you can tune to on 97.7 FM radio. I checked out the website pictures and this looks like one of Reno's must see holiday light shows. Another big display is at 9310 Cordoba Blvd. in Spanish Springs. The decorations feature a 16 foot abominable snowman, Rudolph and other characters, and a lighted arch over Cordoba Blvd.
