  I know this is an off-topic posting. But….Thought I'd get some advice. My daughter loves christmas lights, my neighbors are boring, and my own decoration is less than stellar. Where's a good place to take kids to see holiday lights?
  
  I know about Christmas Card Lane in Rancho Penasquitos, which we've already gone there a few times. And there's the Wild Animal Park, which we will be going.
  
  Anywhere else, preferably free?

  The light display at Del mar Fairgrounds is a San Diego staple, but it does cost like $10 per car to drive through.

    Our neighborhood is pretty cool. Glendon Circle in Santee. Lots of plywood cutout Christmas displays (many cartoon and themed displays), kettle corn, and hot chocolate for sale. It was pretty nuts this weekend, but traffic isn’t too bad on weeknights.

  Hi, I don’t know if this link will work. If it doesn’t try searching for 2007 san diego christmas light map. San Diego Family Magazine publishes one every year. The magazine is free, you can usually find them at the McDonald’s.

    IF you’re close to Rancho Penasquitos, try Oviedo Street off of Black Mountain north of the 56. Unofficially, it’s “Christmas Card Lane,” where many houses have wooden cut-outs with various themes. While the original concept may have been to remain simple, there are also a lots of lights, and one house even had carolers out front last night.
    
    I can only imagine how annoying it would get if one actually lived there, but we take our children through there every year. It’s wonderful.

      Candy Cane Lane is no longer lighting up. Everybody got too old to put up lights.
