ANTELOPE<\/span><\/p>\n

8213 Rockbury Way, Antelope (95843): <\/strong><\/p>\n

What\u2019s Santa to do when the reindeer decide to take a year off? He calls in a polar bear, rocking horse, elephant, cow and red-nosed flamingo to power his sleigh, according to this resident. A peacock, butterfly and ladybug also guide the way. More than 10,000 lights, 40 snowmen, Nativity, gingerbread family and North Pole scenes add to this feast of color.<\/p>\n

CITRUS HEIGHTS<\/span><\/p>\n

6617 Golden Rain Court, Citrus Heights (95610): <\/strong><\/p>\n

Because decorations shouldn\u2019t stop at the front door, this layout is embellished with clear icicle lights around entire house; illuminated Christmas star on a 12-foot pole; Santa and reindeer on the roof; multicolored lights decorating windows, doors and garage, and attached to candy-cane stakes; a Christmas scene projected on the garage door; garage and front doors wrapped in large red ribbons and bows; net-lighting draped over shrubs. Also: an illuminated Nativity scene, inflatable characters, a 7-foot LED snowman, illuminated spiral trees, reindeer, small snowmen, candy canes and snowflakes.<\/p>\n

Orelle Creek and Allene Creek courts (off Old Auburn Road, east of Fair Oaks Boulevard):<\/strong><\/p>\n

Visitors are instructed to enter by the 50-foot redwood tree decorated with pale blue lights wrapped around its trunk and a bright star crowning the top. More than 20 homes are decked out.<\/p>\n

9720 Great Egret Court, Elk Grove (95757):<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trolls, Dory and more \u201cStar Wars\u201d items have been added to the ninth annual display. Drone views in video.<\/p>\n
