Livermore Man Makes Map Of Best Local Holiday Lights

LIVERMORE, CA — Now that it's dark by 4:30 p.m., what better time to take in the Livermore lights? Livermore resident David Haberman has made a list and map of the city's most magical holiday light displays.

"This is the route I take my wife so we get in the holiday spirit. We get McDonald’s and play Christmas music and make it a date. The route takes about an hour," Haberman wrote.

He starts at Ryan Street, just south of Concannon Boulevard, then travels clockwise to the following addresses:

• 1234 Riesling Circle
• 3648 Montrose Place
• 367 Nottingham Circle
• Pickfair Lane
• 2257 Higuera Court
• Mohawk Drive
• 845 Seminole Drive
• 411 Virginia Drive (check out the surrounding streets for hiding gingerbread men)
• 227 Nadine Street
• Sonoma Avenue

Haberman noted that Deacon Dave's, the home of doves and 800,000 lights that won ABC's "National Christmas Light Fight," is not included on his list because it requires its own night. Deacon Dave's is free and open to the public each day until Jan. 1.
