Lights for Lives, 84 Hayden Ave., Tiverton, R.I.
Colleen and Larry St. Onge opened their display to the public more than 10 years ago after a few neighbors asked them if their children could walk around their yard to see the lights.
“At that time, we didn't have nearly as much as we do now. But we thought, ‘If we grow the show and invite people to come and enjoy it, maybe we can bring joy to people,’” Colleen said.
This year, Colleen said she recently had surgery, so she and her husband worried they wouldn't be able to decorate. But they came up with an idea to keep the tradition going.
My husband parks the car in front of the house and I roll the window and let him know where to place items so they look cohesive," she told The National Desk.
"We really did think we absolutely could not do the show this year, but I can't break everyone's heart and I know the need for the food pantry is greatly increased this year, too," she added.
As always, they are accepting monetary donations to benefit Make-A-Wish, and non-perishable food donations to the Tiverton Food Pantry.
Through the years, the St. Onge family keeps added more and more lights to their computer-animated show. They now have 75,000 f lights that “dance” to music on 91.7 FM.
While you can listen from your car, you can also stroll around the walkways.
When asked what she likes best about the display, Colleen said she doesn’t have a favorite part “because every time someone comes and gets excited about a display piece, I see it through their eyes, and I fall in love with the memory.”
The display is lit from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and Friday and Saturday from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m.
Santa will visit each Friday and Saturday from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., with a new life-size sleigh for free photo opps. Guests are asked to take their own photos.

Kut Family Christmas Light Display, 10 Sycamore Lane, Westport, Mass.
The Kut family's drive-by display is a work of art!
The house is decked out in thousands of lights and features nearly 20 sparkling snowflakes on the front of the house, strings of colored lights on the roof, at least 30 blow molds and a shimmering star that hangs high in a tree.
The star has a special meaning, as it’s dedicated to Steve Kut's late father.
“When I was a kid, one of the most important things in my life was looking at Christmas lights with my family,” Kut said. “We were time rich. We didn’t have a lot of money, so basically, we didn’t go to Disney or do super expensive stuff like that. We drove around and looked at big displays in the area. My father was kind of a crazy decorator himself, so I think it got passed down in the blood. That’s kind of what I do for him.”
Steve also said he keeps decorating year after year "because of all the joy it brings people."
The family is collecting new, unwrapped gifts to benefit Toys for Tots, a non-profit organization that donates toys to children in need during the holidays.
The display is lit nightly starting at dusk through January 1.

Season's Greetings, 74 Gifford Road, Westport, M.A.
Dave Proulx is no stranger to decorating.
Plus, he loves Christmastime.
When I was a kid, I always loved driving around seeing the lights,” Proulx previously said. “My grandfather used to always love decorating, so I just like carry it on. I never met him – he died before I was born. But I used to hear the stories, so I figured I’d keep it going.”
He’s doing just that, as he purchased his grandparents’ house about six years ago and recently started decorating.
He said he was pleasantly surprised when he found some classic decorations in the attic.
When I bought the house, up in the attic, we found a sign that says, ‘Season’s Greetings,’” he said. “My grandfather cut that out in the 40s. We brought that out, put some glitter on it, and tried to salvage it. I love that the most.”
In addition to the sign, the house is covered in lights.
The lawn is filled with several blow molds, glistening candy canes, and a big snowflake on the roof.
“I try to get a little bit of everything out here,” Proulx said.
