Every year, we scour the papers and Internet looking for Houston's definitive guide to spectacular residential Christmas lights displays, and every year, what we find what comes up a little lacking. A handful of neighborhoods are invariably cited, and we've already been to most of them. There's the Prestonwood subdivision near 249 and 1960, Scott Terrace off Scott between Yellowstone and O.S.T., and Shepherd Park Plaza / Candlelight Plaza, near Ella and W. 43rd. River Oaks, Woodland Heights, Hermann Park, Highland Village, Uptown and Galveston's Moody Gardens also get some love in most of the round-ups.To our (admittedly tacky) taste, River Oaks is a bit dull, colorless and staid, while those last four don't count. Parks, attractions and shopping districts belong to a separate category of Christmas light-viewing. Surely there are more of these rabidly holiday-crazed, Trans-Siberian Orchestra-blaring neighborhoods (or even single incredible houses) out there in the H-Town sprawl. What are your favorites?- John Nova Lomax
Thanks for the info! Merry Christmas to you and your family
Oops! I forgot to include the link for the Dickinson Festival of Lights. http://www.dickinsonfestivaloflights.org/
The Dickinson Festival of Lights is spectacular! It's much more colorful than Moody Gardens. Children can ice and decorate a cookie for $1 and the concession stand and "Blinkey Hut" souvenirs are reasonably priced. It makes it possible for you to have a wonderful family outing with all the extras, without going broke doing it. Admission is free, but it is made possible through donations, so be sure to drop something in the jar. Enjoy and Merry Christmas!
In Clear lake, The corner of Bouy and El Camino Real! Awesome!
Resources like the one you mentioned here will be very useful to me! I will post a link to this page on my blog. I am sure my visitors will find that very useful.
Check out this house!

Pecan Grove is pretty good, blaring music and all. That's if you are willing to make the drive out to Richmond, off 99.
