It's the most wonderful time of the year and as I drive around town I can't help but notice more and more houses have decided to decorate and we are reaping all the benefits. There's something so special about the glow of Christmas lights and people are itching to find THE BEST spots to check out.

I was tagged earlier on WTF is Happening in Yakima asking if the Yakima Herald will be publishing their annual map of lights and I am happy to report back that it's about a week away. Why? Well, you gotta have time for the most comprehensive list, right?

Try This App

Until that time I thought I might provide you with some suggestions to get you through. Just like the Halloween season, I discovered a free app called Next Door. You can find out all sorts of stuff having to do with the area that you live in and they also have different maps. One, in particular, is super useful this time of year and it's called the Cheer Map! Anyone who has decorated and uses the app has entered their location so you can see little Christmas bulbs all across the Yakima Valley and beyond!
