MELROSE, MA — Earlier this month, Patch put out a call for recommendations on the best holiday light shows at individual homes and neighborhoods across the region. From larger-than-life Santas to an entire Christmas village, here's what neighbors say is one of the most dazzling displays around.

35 Irving St., Melrose — Resident M.J. Langathianos submitted a photo of her property in suburban Melrose that is illuminated with white lights and two large wreaths placed on the home. The most unique component of the decorations however is the eight foot Santa Claus waving at passers-by near the side door. According to Langathianos, the decorating begins right after Halloween.
