If you and your family have recently moved to Memphis, there is no reason to feel like the Grinch and Ebenezer Scrooge this holiday season. During Christmas, Memphis is at its twinkling best and the city is full of cheer (as it is throughout the year as well). Memphis movers want new residents to know that Tennessee is all about southern, country charm and fun. In order to enjoy that fun after moving into town, check out some of Memphis’ most famous Christmas lights displays.
1. This year, one of Memphis’ most famous Christmas light displays belonged to the Griswold family. There is actually an award in their front yard that says “Clark Griswold Award: Town Beautiful Commission” and the Griswold’s definitely made the town more beautiful with their holiday light display.
2. After you finish moving to Memphis, you will notice that many Memphis neighborhoods take their time putting up elegant Christmas light displays for the entire neighborhood to enjoy. Take your family for a drive in your new neighborhood and see which homes have the most elegant Christmas displays.
3. There’s a home in Germantown where you can park out front, tune your dial to FM 106.3, turn your car lights off, and watch with fellow viewers as the lights play in unison with the music.
4. There is a home in Bartlett that has one of Memphis’ most famous Christmas light displays. So famous in fact, that it has its own website.
