Beautiful decoration! Too much to see. Should compete with Light Fight and definitely will win. I admire the patient and time of these families that put these lights together. Amazingly beautiful!

We accidentally found this wonderful local attraction a few years ago. We tell our friends every year. Its a its a lovely tradition that we look forward to and very much appreciate the many many many many many hours of effort that this family puts into putting the show on for other people at Christmas. They have a cool Santa in their driveway until Christmas Eve and kids are lined up to talk to him. People are coming and going constantly so weve never had trouble finding a place to park. Be sure to slow down and watch for people crossing the street in the dark as you get close. If you go here you will automatically add it to your holiday traditions. Thank you to this family for all that they do we love you

Weve been by here for years, even decades - first with our children and now with their children, too. We admire the owners spirit as well as the decorations. Yule enjoy various themes and characters - classic, random and something new every year. Condensed magic in a limited space, with every square inch covered. Stop the car and walk around for a closer look.Merry Christmas!And, Yes, Virginia - There is a Flying Christmas Pig!

We visit every year. The decorations are impressive. My only comment is that this is not a place where people should post and vent their political views. We come to celebrate Christmas and be happy and we really dont need to see posters of whos views the owner supports.

Wow, just amazing the amount of work he puts into it. He also dresses up as Santa. What an incredible gift he gives to the kids and families who cant afford the high prices of the mall or other places of visiting Santa. Lets not forget the neighborhood that surrounds the home who put up with the traffic, lights and extra noise. Thank you Knob Hill neighborhood!!!!!!

We love going to see the lights each year at Christmas time. We take friends and family when they come to visit. Pictures dont do it justice, you have to see for yourself.

Super fun to take the kids to check out all the lights. Plus Santa is there in the evenings taking pictures with the kids for free. You cant beat that.

The decorations on this house are impressive, to say the least. There is a Santa Claus around a little closer to Christmas, which is great for the kids. Its free and fun and incredibly festive. I visit every year! I believe the whole setup is solar powered too

Not one single light for the reason for the season (Jesus). How about a simple nativity set? After all the holiday exists because of the miraculous birth of Jesus Christ.

It used to be all about Christmas. This year there was a rather large Trump Hating display. Ive stopped by for about 10 years or so with kids and grandkids and I dont plan on ever going again.

This is not street full of houses decorated. This is just ONE single house decorated so enormously at the same time very meticulously. I see some disappointed reviews here and I am only laughingPlease read below FAQ, to avoid disappointments. Also please read the disclaimer, Christmas Light and Santas Schedule are subject to change based on weather and availabilityChristmas on Knob Hill began in 1988, so its 30 years of work, lets pay some respect for that. I just have to drive past that house to feel the festive mood. And each & every single light of this house is solar powered.The timing is pretty constant, for the Christmas Light Display, between Nightly between November 23 - December 30, it is from 5:00pm to 9:00pm and Santas Schedule December 13 - December 23from : 6:30pm - 8:00pm, and remember, Christmas Light and Santas Schedule are subject to change based on weather and availability.Faq1.
