I think Bethalto won the award for the best Christmas light display. The Bethalto Christmas Village is everything your Christmas loving heart needs. I think it would even make the Grinch smile. This is a walk through light display, and it includes these adorable display houses filled with mini Christmas villages and all of your Christmas favorites, along with many Christmas trees and various light fixtures along the way. The houses along the path are also beautifully decorated. They have a special mailbox for letters to Santa, and as you walk along the path you will see donation boxes. The donations help keep this beautiful Christmas village going.

I think I love the Bethalto Christmas Village so much because you can tell that they put a lot of work into it. This is something that had a lot of thought put into the entire display. This was done with heart. At the end of the short walk, there is a house to the right that has a message that we all needed this year. HOPE.

There is no way that these pictures can give this magical Christmas Village the justice it deserves. If you happen to be in the area, go give the Bethalto Christmas Village a visit. I plan on coming back for many years to come.
