The Enchanted Village in Jordan's Furniture - Massachusetts

Alright, this next Christmas destination is a little different. Some may even say a little creepy, but that's not our point. We just mean that it isn't a "Christmas lights" display, but it is a Christmas display and it's so interesting that we had to mention it. The original village was a big attraction in the 60s at the Jordan Mash store. It closed in the 70s but was rescued and restored by Jordan's Furniture. It's a full, just a little smaller than life-size, holiday village. Scenes range from the cobbler shop on a wintery day to the inside of a family's dining room during the holiday season. You can see tons of sentimental holiday set-ups, which are all complete with moving doll-like characters. It's really quite a sight and we are into the dedication to Christmas. But if, say, the movie Chucky really freaked you out or you feel uncomfortable around porcelain dolls, we'd skip this one if we were you.

 

The Picozzi Family - Rhode Island

Frank Picozzi, aside from being a man with a great last name, is one of those awesome neighbors who bring enough Christmas cheer to the block to cover everyone.

Located at 75 Gristmill Road, Warwick, Rhode Island, Rhode Islanders flock from all around to see franks display light up to their favorite Christmas jams. Check it out!

 

Amarante's Winter Wonderland - Connecticut

If Rhode Island's stop didn't make you want to up your light game, Connecticut's will.

His love of holiday lights started with him and his father decorating for Christmas, and so today, he carries on setting up and growing this project in his father's memory. Meet Dan and check out his wild lights!

 

DiDonato’s Family Fun Center - New Jersey

Open since the 50s, DiDonato's is a year-round attraction. On a regular day, it's a bowling alley and blacklight lit mini-golf course, but during the holiday it adds "magical Christmas village" to its list. Here is a taste of the holiday magic! If you are feeling a little jealous, it's normal. Feel free to call up your local bowling alley and let them know you're disappointed in their lack of Christmas cheer.

 

The Twinkling House -Delaware

Yes, first and foremost it's the Christmas light stop with the cutest name, "The Twinkling House." Aweee. And secondly, its a really well-coordinated light display set to really fun music. Keeping up with the times, the house twinkled along to Disney, Frozen's "Let it Go" in 2014. As if the song didn't give you goosebumps already (admit it), this production in lights is quite moving! The house actually has it's own YouTube, in case you needed to see even more!
