California Christmas Lights - Lights of the Valley |
|
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 13 years - well beyond "the valley". CaliforniaChristmasLights.com
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.
Now with 433 Houses (411 confirmed for 2011), in 120 Cities, in 41 Counties.
2011 was our 13th year of the best Christmas displays in Northern 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". 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. 13 seasons later its now called CaliforniaChristmasLights.com!

NOTE: The California Christmas Lights 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! |
