As promised, here's this year's list of local houses with their Christmas light shows synced to music.
If you're new to this: It makes for a good self-guided tour for Christmas-light seekers. The houses are like the one in that famous Miller Lite commercial. Each show is about 10 minutes. You tune your car stereo into the specific station and watch the lights dance. It's free, fun and local.
If you enjoyed the list last year, here's a word for you: Two of the last year's houses aren't doing it this year, but tell me they hope to return in 2012. However, this is a new house on the list (the last one).
- 6047 N. Winchester Ave. (Bullard & Maroa)
- 1150 E. Sierra Ave. (east of First Street)
- 1189 Citadel Ave., Clovis, myclovischristmas.com. (Nees & Willow)
- 4222 N. Maroa Ave. (Ashlan & Maroa)
- 4282 W. Dayton Ave. Fresno (near Shields & Blythe)
In the Oz Household, we find that this makes a nice addition to our annual outing to Cindy Lane and Christmas Tree Lane. Enjoy!

The last one is only new to your list. He's done it now for 3 years.
I like visiting those houses tho, so thanks for the list!
Ohhh, good to know.
There's gotta be a few more out there, methinks.
This is so dope !!
UPDATE: I've added a fifth address to the post. I haven't been there, but a couple of people sent me notes about it. Anybody who goes out there, please report back.
Would you happen to know if there is a certain time the light shows begin? Or can people check them out as soon as it gets dark?
(sorry I didn't answer sooner -- thought I did, but apparently it didn't go through)
The lights start up at the owners' discretion. There's no real schedule. But when it gets dark is a pretty good rule of thumb.
We stopped at one of these houses and loved it! I think I liked it better then Christmas tree lane! My husband wants to do this. Any idea how you get involved?
Check out PlanetChristmas.com ....all your answers are there!
