While our poetry skills might need a little work, we’re proud to again present NanaimoNewsNOW’s annual Christmas lights map.

Find a neighbourhood, head out for a self-guided tour and enjoy the holiday spirit.

We ask those embarking on Christmas light tours to drive safely and responsibly, as well as ensuring you remain on the road and/or sidewalks in front of homes.

Anyone wishing to add their, or another, house to the map can do so by clicking here.
