Last year was my first trip through the blinking and twinkling display that is Celebration of Lights in O’Fallon’s Fort Zumwalt Park. The kids dressed up the dogs, one as Santa and one as an elf, and we all piled into the car to see the sparkling spectacle.
This year, if you’re looking for someplace different to see Christmas lights, here are some more bright spots just a short drive away:
