With several places to view breath-taking holiday lights and decorations, you are sure to never have a dull moment this holiday break. Check out some of these places where the displays are more ridiculous than you have ever experienced.

If you are looking for a heart-warming story along with some sensational lights and holiday trinkets, stop by Ed Clark’s year round Christmas house on Nacgadoches road. Ed Clark is an elderly man who constructed this holiday shrine in remembrance of his wife who passed away several years ago. This house is filled with noises, lights, and glitter galore. It will be sure to warm your heart and lift your spirits through the roof.

Another alternative for outrageous displays is Santa’s Ranch located just one mile south of San Marcos, TX. For just twenty two dollars per car, you can drive through nearly a mile of amazing holiday scenes. There are over a million lights along with over 100 displays and animations. This is the perfect place to go for a night out with the family or some friends.

You can never go wrong with the lights on the Riverwalk in downtown San Antonio. In fact, this year they have done things a little bit different. While they usually have multi-colored lights hanging from the branches of the trees, this year the lights are neatly wrapped around the trunks of the trees lining the infamous river.
