Hello, Tuesday! Chelsea here.

The sun going down at 5 p.m. isn’t exactly an easy thing to adjust to, but one thing that makes it better is the fact that there are holiday lights up all around town now. There are so many fantastic places to go and enjoy the twinkling ambiance, but we’ve gathered the best ones all in one place for you. Some of the displays are staying up much longer this year, which I personally think is fantastic. January in Ohio could use all of the glowy, bright help it can get!
