Brilliant Crofton Christmas Lights Display On Dec. 15-31

CROFTON, MD — Patch asked for addresses of the Clark Griswold of your neighborhood who puts up zillions of holiday lights and figures drawing visitors from surrounding areas, and a Crofton man shared his. Kyle Farmer of 1714 Spring Green Ave. sent a photo from last year's display.

He's setting up his 15th year of holiday lights. The display will be up for viewing Dec. 15- 31 from dusk until 9 p.m., Farmer says.

Are there certain spots in town that you think are more festive than others? We want to know where to find the best Christmas decorations and lights; send an email to maryland@patch.com. See tips below on helpful information to include with your submission.

We'll keep updating the list through Dec. 24, so keep an eye on your daily morning newsletters and the Patch Facebook pages. (If you're not signed up to receive your community's Patch newsletter, get started here.)

Send us some photos and/or links to videos of your Christmas light display. Please include the following information:

• We prefer that the homeowner submit his or her own yard, or an immediate neighbor or close relative.
• Include the exact address of the lawn display.
• Let us know the dates and hours when your display will be available for viewing, so people aren't ringing your doorbell or bothering your neighbors in the middle of the night.
• Please don't submit a Christmas-decorated home you recall from five or ten years ago. That person may no longer be decorating their house and we don't want people wasting gas.
• Does your display have a name? Be sure to include it.
• Tell us about any special effects, such as singing trees, stuffed reindeer, live actors, etc.
• Does your display have a Facebook page or website? Be sure to include the links.
• Include a phone number (not for publication) in case Patch needs to contact you.
• We're going to assume that Patch has permission to use every photo that is submitted for this feature.

We do our best to verify each address. Don't be shy and share your creativity so the rest of us can enjoy it. Questions? Contact maryland@patch.com.
