~If you live in Washington County - especially in Hillsboro, Forest Grove,  I wouldn't miss Storybook Lane in the Dilley area..  It's probably the cutest walk-thru Christmas lights display I've seen in Oregon and it's FREE!

~This is one business, but very bright, very full and fun display of Christmas lights, talking characters, etc.
if you live in the Clackamas, Carver, Damascus, Estacada, & Boring areas it's a quick trip and a great little "surprise" for the kids on your way home from running holiday errands.

~Nighthawk's lights are awesome, I go there with my family every year. Me and my
brother like the music and the free candy canes. It gets bigger every year! Some of
my favorites are the snow machine and the huge Christmas tree that changes colors!

If Jesus in the reason for the season, then you'll enjoy The Grotto.  Kids love the petting zoo and concerts featuring many young singing groups.     Hillsboro Mom of 3

We loved it the lights were so wonderful, puppet show was ok, but the petting zoo was a nice range of animals. The singing, plays and hot cocoa were a real treat. Worth the money. By the way the middle bathroom has heat....        LucasPortland, SE Portland Mom of 4

Just took my kids over to the Starwood light displly and have to say many of the
homes that had decorations did not have them turned on. Kids loved seeing the lights
that were on, but would have been much more enjoyable if all decorated homes had
their lights on.

I'm surprised this isn't on your list.  They've been doing this for many years in
Keizer, and our family makes a point of going there every year ever since my own
children were small.  It is also known as Miracle on 14th Street, but most of the
grandest decorating has moved off of 14th with new housing developments.  There is
no charge for this.  The people in the neighborhood give out candy canes and take
donations for the food bank.  You can drive through, or park and walk.  There is
often a horse-drawn wagon available too.  This is a wonderful holiday celebration
for the whole family to enjoy together.
