Traveling to see the lights around town was one of my favorite Christmas traditions as a kid. We are so blessed in our community to have several great holiday light displays, including a few choreographed to music! So grab your family and some hot cocoa, and follow this path for an evening of holiday de-LIGHT! 🙂 #mompuns

New this year!
We’ve mixed up the STMA Holiday Lights Tour a bit to include a few new stops sent in by our readers.
The tour stops at 9 locations and takes about 1 hour to enjoy start-to-finish. If you’d prefer just to hit the highlights, click here to access the 4-location, 40-minute version.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! And if you’re hoping to meet jolly old St. Nick and maybe even squeeze in a photo of him with your kids, check out this list of opportunities see Santa in and around the STMA community this December.
