A Short Guide on How to Enjoy Christmas Lights in Your HOA

The holiday season is upon us, and one of the most cherished traditions is driving around neighborhoods to admire the bright Christmas lights. To help make the most of your neighborhood Christmas light tour, we’ve compiled a guide with tips for being a considerate and courteous neighbor during the festive season.

Mindful Driving

Driving slowly and attentively through the neighborhood is essential. Watch for pedestrians, especially children, who may be excitedly crossing the road. Dim your headlights as a courtesy to homeowners and other drivers, allowing everyone to enjoy the lights without distractions.

Parking Etiquette

There’s always that one house that requires a few extra minutes of admiration! While enjoying your Christmas light tour, remember not to park in someone else’s driveway without permission. Instead, park on the side of the road, careful not to block driveways, fire hydrants, or mailboxes.

Respect the Timing

Timing is everything when it comes to enjoying Christmas lights. Be mindful of the time you choose to view the lights. It’s best to plan your visits during reasonable hours, preferably between 7:00 PM and 9:00 PM. Avoid late-night visits that could disturb others who are trying to sleep.

Stay on Sidewalks

Walk around to admire the lights, or stay on the sidewalk or public areas. Avoid walking on people’s lawns or gardens, as this can damage the landscaping. Additionally, avoid touching or interacting with any props or decorations on someone else’s property.
