I feel like the Christmas season went very fast this year. As quickly as I put trees up and decorated, I wasn't as quick to put everything away. But now it's time, and it's also time to do something with the lights that no longer work. I discovered quite a few strands as I was starting to decorate, I set those aside at the time, but now I have to do something with them. I tried changing out fuses, but that never works for me, so I saved the bulbs that I know work and am taking what's left to be recycled. I found out that Summit e-Waste Recycling Solutions takes them and they have bins located all over Summit County and that makes it super easy and convenient. Click here to find a bin near you!

Christmas lights are one of the most wonderful things about Christmas in my opinion. I love driving around with my family and looking at all the displays that everyone has put so much effort and Christmas spirit into! It's a tradition to jump in the car with cups of hot cocoa to seek out all the pretty lights!

Country Living put together a list of the 41 Best Most Magical Christmas Light Displays Across the U.S. While the pictures are pretty to look at, and to make notes for your next winter vacation, there is nothing like seeing them in person. Every year, I check out the list of local displays from Northeast Ohio Family Fun before we head out the door. They put together lists by county which is super helpful and easy to find the ones near you! Click here for all the info, including drive through displays and ones that are set to music!

A tradition for many is driving around and looking at Christmas light displays, and this map is super helpful. It tells you where displays are in your area, including those set to music and ones that you can drive through. It is always being updated so make sure to check it again before you head out!
