Here are the homes on this year’s Chico Tour of Lights.

1. Songbird and Covey Court: The wide road, expansive lawns and large homes makes this a perfect setting for lights in this traditionally decorated neighborhood. Bright poinsettias, storybook and angel cutouts balance out the lights. Australian wildlife, Santa and tree silhouettes are standouts on Songbird, as well as an Eiffel Tower, fire truck, and dalmatian on Covey. Good for daytime visits too.

2. Roberts Court: Directly across from Songbird, neighbors got into the mood with lots of lights, following a silver and gold theme. Catch the huge sleigh and reindeer on one lawn.

3. Greenberry neighborhood: Here’s a fun area with lots of residents hauling around strings of lights. Morning Glory Place is a perennial and good sights on Wild Rose.

4. Augusta Lane: This could be the rising star for bright neighborhoods although the road is hard to find off Garner Lane. The green-light yard is stunning, as are the lights draped from a high tree. See handcrafted cut outs of Frosty, Snoopy, Alice in Wonderland, and modern Nightmare Before Christmas.

5. Stone Valley Court: Two properties near the corner will put you in the mood.

6. Hancock Park: Enter on Ceanothus or Marigold, off East Avenue, and wander. Don’t expect to see street signs, but watch out for roundabouts as you mosey around. Catch a cheery Noel sign on Valley Forge, and Coachlight is a fun, bright street. Our pick is the Ceanothus neighbors whose garages double as the Nativity scene on one side and Santa in his cozy den on the other

7. 2410 Floral Ave.: With more than 100 molded plastic figures, it’s hard to tell what’s new, but this lawn artist says check out the Victorian England section. Plenty of room to park on the road and the decorator doesn’t mind closer looks.

8. 1041 Downing Ave.: A landscape company and this homeowner spent several hundred hours transforming the front lawn into a wonderland based on skiing bears, snow and Santa. Park on Downing and walk to soak up this busy scene.

9. Hackamore Drive: At the very end of the road, this is one of our perennial homes with snowmen and candy canes and an easy turn-around. Kudos go to one house along the way who bought every purple light they could find.

10. Windham Way/Brush Creek Lane: Three model homes in a local subdivision have been gussied up very nicely. Google doesn’t know about this street yet, so take Eaton Road to its far west end, turn right on Rogue River and then another right at the dead end. There are other glowing homes in the area to enjoy too.

11. Mount Whitney Court: Be prepared to spend several minutes at the corner house to see everything, from moving reindeer on the roof, to penguins with a water reflection, to Santa on the porch, and preparations for the ugly sweater party.

12. Silver Lake Drive: This neighborhood’s theme is recreation in lights, from Santa standing in a real speed boat to the golf club-swinging snowman. Catch the Santa doing a hula dance, and another waving from the porch. Fun in the day too. This entire Amber Grove neighborhood is perfect for Christmas cruising.

13. 2135 Nord Ave. Space 42: This young man has been on the list from the start, 21 years ago, but at different locations. In his own home inside the Royal Palms Mobile Home Park, every inch of the grass, space and roof is covered.

14. 1206 West Wind Drive: One of Santa’s reindeer is thinking about trout, not toys, but will dash off for the annual around-the-world flight in time. Hand-sewn figures decorate this home. Look for children singing around a tree, and reindeer-driven tractor. Look up to see the grand couple in the window. Good during the day. Letters to Santa will be answered if you include a stamped self-addressed envelope.

15. 130 Zinnia Way: White, white, white lights everywhere, and no wonder. It matches the color of this household’s Great Pyrenees dog. Big dogs and polar bears celebrate the dogs too.

16. 2020 The Esplanade: Rest at 10th Avenue and The Esplanade, and enjoy Chico Nut Co.’s 45 minute light and sound show that celebrates local ag. On Dec. 19, 6-9 p.m. enjoy refreshments courtesy of Santa and Mrs. Claus.

17. 1807 Arcadian Ave.: This yard celebrates the family’s Hhusky dog with a musher scene. You may see the dog touring the decorations. Wish her a happy 10th birthday.

18. 30 Chattswood Court: Off the list for a couple of years, this residence is known for the stunning redwood trees and a herd of small snowmen. Lots of work to squeeze it all in. It’s a small cul-de-sac, so be aware.

19. 443 Stonebridge Drive: This above-board yard has it all – American flag, lights, music and is taking Make-A-Wish financial contributions again, but they’re only suggested. Look for Santa and refreshments 6-9 p.m. Dec. 22, 23 and 24. This family’s inspiration for their yard IS their family.

20. 879 Mathews Drive: Stay a little, and enjoy the array of lights all over this year. Stay longer and catch one of the classic Christmas movies this lawn artist screens for guests. Check for the sparkling peacock and moose mowing the lawn. Other roads include Guynn are fun to see.

21. 4 Wildflower Court: Handmade to the hilt. This decorator has a small yard, but every inch is occupied. All the signs are hand painted and lettered.

22. New Dawn Circle: A variety of brightly lit yards dot this street. Catch a waving Santa in his chair and some merry music, and is that an inflatable Airstream trailer?

23. Picholine Way: Bright yards dot this whole street, from inflatables to lots of lights, but the house at 284 takes the cake, with flashing lights and a very full lawn.
