I love going out and looking at Christmas lights, especially when our friends can join us… so over the last few years I’ve done my best to compile a list of places in SW Missouri (mostly the Springfield area) that have been decorated. My list has been compiled since 2009, but I make sure that I keep it updated (to the best of my ability… if you know of a home that is decorated that isn’t listed here, please let me know so I can add it to the list!). I get my information from the local TV station websites (KY3, mostly) and the Springfield news paper. Included in this list is what I have found for 2011, and the past years (2010, 2009… some or all of the addresses listed may still decorate for Christmas, but I’m unsure)
