True, but that's a bit of a drive from Houston.

From 45 N left on Wmount Houston which turns into 249. Follow 249 just past 1960 there is a neighbor hood on the right don't remember the name, but all the streets were decorated with lights and over the top displays etc.. some streets were all in one theam (SP?) etc... You won't miss it as there is usually a line leading into the neighborhood.

prestonwood forest, take the grant rd. exit. make sure you have lots of gas and a cooler, because it takes forever to go through.

I went to that one last year. It was good. Each street had its own theme.

There is a little whole in wall section by The Woodlands called Oak Ridge. The people over there always decorated the entire area. I'm 30 now, but I have been going over there every year since I was 3. They really do a good job.

- Go 45 N to The Woodlands, Exit Robinson Rd, and start exploring.

The Woodlands has a few subdivision that have gone all out.

Tangle Brush, Grogan's Point, West Isle, and Grogan's Mill.

Good luck.

- Also would like to know more Houston area locations? Kingwood? River Oaks? Rice Village? Sugarland? Anyone?

I used to live in Oak Ridge when I was a kid, neat thing to hear about. Is this the part where "Nicole Realty" is or the other side where that pretty large and cylindrical Baptist church was built and recently torn down?

put a swastika on your car and youd see a great light display.
