NorCal Tour O'Lights: 2 Cheerful Homes To Visit

SACRAMENTO COUNTY, CA — The holiday light displays adorned by homes throughout Sacramento and Yolo counties aren't to be outdone this holiday season.

As part of Patch's annual Holiday Tour O' Lights, we've rounded up a couple of the submissions we've received so far from locals. From holiday fun featuring Disney characters to more sparkling displays, there's no shortage of creativity among participants this year.

Check out two homes bringing holiday cheer to their blocks this year:

Elk Grove - 8629 Diamond Crest Ct.

In Elk Grove, Katherene Pugmire is encouraging locals to check out her home display at 8629 Diamond Crest Ct. The home stays lit every night except during windy weather, Pugmire told Patch.

While there’s no specific theme, a variety of Christmas inflatables bring color and cheer to the neighborhood. From classic holiday icons to whimsical favorites, the display is designed to delight everyone who passes by.

"We just love displaying different Christmas inflatables and seeing people smile as they walk by," Pugmire said.

Davis - 1909 Alicante St

Over in Davis, head over to Amanda Joe's home at 1909 Alicante St. for a touch of Disney magic this holiday season. This display brings the enchantment of beloved Disney characters to life. Perfect for fans of all ages, this quaint home is a delightful stop to soak in some holiday cheer.

How To Submit Your Home

Can the holiday lights on your home be seen from space? Does it look like the Las Vegas strip?

If you've spent days or weeks painstakingly hanging strands of lights on your house, palm trees and shrubs, or hauling multiple figurines out to your lawn — Patch wants to hear from you.

This month, we're compiling a Patch California Tour O' Lights, where readers can explore the best holiday light displays in California.

We aim to have the list up as soon as possible — so email photos and a description of your winter wonderland to Kat Schuster at kat.schuster@patch.com.

A few details:

• If you’re including a video, please upload it to YouTube and send us the link so we can embed it (make sure it's marked “public”). We also request that the homeowner submit their own yard or a close relative.
• We’ll keep updating the list for your neighborhood and county throughout December.
• Once you've provided the information — and submitted a photo or two or a video (after you uploaded it to YouTube) — you will be entered and included in our roundup.
• Pro-tip: If you haven't photographed your light display before, a good time to take photos is at dusk.
• IMPORTANT: By submitting a photo, you're allowing Patch to publish it for this feature and future stories. Photos should be original and taken by the person submitting the photo.
• So, be sure to check back for updates and sign up for your local Patch.com newsletters as well!
• Please copy and paste the following information into an email, along with photos or videos, and follow these guidelines:
• Include the exact address of the yard display and your phone number (not for publication) in case we need to get in touch with you.
• Let us know the dates when your holiday display goes live and when it shuts off for the evening.
• Does your winter wonderland have a name? Be sure to include it, or we can help you make one up.
• Tell us what makes your twinkly lights special. Will you be planning anything special for your display, like Santa or other holiday characters, FM frequencies for your synchronized light show, walk-throughs, popcorn machines, etc.?
• Does your display have a Facebook page or website? Be sure to include the links.

We’re looking forward to hearing from you. Remember, email Kat Schuster (kat.schuster@patch.com) to submit photos of your holiday lights.
