17 of the most intense Christmas decorations

When it comes to Christmas decorations, there are people who put up a few strands of Christmas lights and call it a day. And then there are these Christmas devotees who blind their neighbors with their decorating efforts, transforming their homes into Christmas displays that rival the windows at Macy’s 34th Street. Intense Christmas decorations are where it’s at.

Which is fine by us. Christmas (and all of December in general) is the one time of year we get to wrap our homes in shiny bright lights, drag pine trees into our living rooms to decorate, pin wreaths to our doors, stick inflatable santas and snowmen on our front lawns, and just be a TINY bit annoying with how much we love the holidays. And honestly, Christmas (or Hanukkah) decorating is FUN. It means you get to go to Target and wander the holiday aisles, and pick out all the different trinkets and lit up strings you’ll decorate your home with.

And even if you’re not a huge decorator for the holidays, don’t you just love seeing how everyone else went all out? Tonight, if you have nothing going on, you should definitely walk or drive around your neighborhood and check out all the pretty lights. They’ll be gone before we know it!

Or you can check some out here. We’ve rounded up 17 houses with some of the most clever and intense Christmas decorations ever. You don’t even need to leave your own home to see them!
