As a kid I remember right after Christmas dinner at my grandma’s house in Jefferson, we would drive to Metairie so we could take a peek at Al Copeland’s house all done-up for Christmas. I feel like maybe over-the-top Christmas lights are a dying art form or something because I certainly don’t see them like I used to. I asked the Northshore Parent Facebook Page and got some suggestions. Then I got in my rockin’ mini van with the crew and went and check them out. So if you want to go see some Christmas lights with your kids, here’s the scoop:

I think you missed out on a display in the Tall Timbers subdivision. They have a display with singing reindeer and up to 27 songs. This is a must see.

Oh! Lakeview is the hospital at the 190 exit off of I-12 in Mandeville/Covington.
What’s the address? We drove all around looking for it.

Hey all,
I have a little show in Mandeville: 170 Beau Rivage Drive. Shows are running between 6-10pm every 15 minutes every day. This year I have released a free iphone app, this has infomation and allows you to control the lights if you are at my show and if it is between show times. Either search for HLShow in the app store or Download here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hlshow/id1130796223?mt=8
Android will hopefully be approved for download next year.
Merry Christmas all!

308 Colleen Court Madisonville – over 10,ooo LED lights synchronized to music
Can’t wait to check it out!
538 Cross Gates will be ready Saturday with lights et music
As I was flying back into New Orleans last night, we flew over a neighborhood that you could actually see the decorations flashing from the plane! It is a small neighborhood located at about “one o’clock” off of Lake Ponchartrain, about 3 or 4 miles inland, and a lot of the homes had blue lights on them for some reason.
I looked on Google Maps to see if I could recognize the layout of the subdivision, but can’t find it. I’m guessing around Abita Springs…? I live in Baton Rouge so I don’t want to just wander around hoping to find it. Any help???
I have lots of eyes and ears on the ground helping me find lights and I don’t know of any neighborhoods around there that are particularly decorated–it’s more like one house here and there. I have heard that Riverwood in Covington has many houses decorated, but that’s closer to the bridge and a bit further west. If you do come out to Abita Springs, the pub has a very nice show going on–I’m getting ready to add it to the list.
Thank You!!! I’ll keep on checking back.
We used to live near Richmond, Virginia, and if you want to see something wild, google tackylighttour.com or images of the “Richmond Tacky Tour”. People started a competition of sorts to see who could outdo the other and add WAY too much stuff in their yards and their houses. People would come from miles around and some would even rent limo’s and the limo buses to ride around and look at all of the over-decorated houses. We’d pick out a few different houses every year and end at the ones that we enjoyed from previous years. I’d LOVE to get something like that going on around here!
Thank You!!! I’ll check back here some time soon!
