Several years ago, one homeowner on Daugherty Lane began stringing lights around his eaves, across the lawn and in freestanding displays. He even gave his light show a soundtrack of Christmas music.

His Christmas spirit was contagious, and gradually his neighbors across the street and on either side began creating light shows as well.

Now the cul-de-sac off Standifer Gap Road has a continuous stream of cars each night admiring the brilliant display.

Directions: At the roundabout on Ooltewah-Ringgold Road, bear left onto Standifer Gap. Travel about 3/4 mile and Daugherty Lane will be on the right, just past Quail Run subdivision.
