Lights of the Valley - California Christmas Lights |
|
This website is the largest and most comprehensive collection of the best and brightest Christmas light and yard displays from all of California including the San Francisco Bay Area, Central Valley, Sacramento Valley, Los Angeles and San Diego.
Lights of the Valley is now California Christmas Lights! Same owner, same great website as before - just a more "fitting" name since the site has expanded so much these past 14 years - well beyond "the valley". CaliforniaChristmasLights.com
Now with 362 Houses (362 confirmed for 2012), in 116 Cities, in 35 Counties.
2012 was our 14th year of the best Christmas displays in California.

When my family moved to Livermore in 1992, we relied on newspaper listings to find local homes decorated with Christmas lights. The local newspaper was helpful but many times we would get lost or stumble on a "stinker". photo: Alex Dourov
So, what I thought people needed were maps and pictures to determine for themselves which houses were worth a visit. With that idea in mind and 20 hours of work, I created this website - LightsOfTheValley.com & published it on December 11, 1999. 14 seasons later its now called CaliforniaChristmasLights.com!

NOTE: The Lights of the Valley site always "Closes" on New Years Day.
(All Ratings Thru that Date, are Frozen when the Site Closes)
The site will "Open" again on the Friday After Thanksgiving Day! |
