And when your annual holiday drive around the neighborhood brings you upon that ONE special house the one with festive tunes pulsing from speakers and choreographed trees dancing along, with lights so over-the-top that Santa can surely see them from the North Pole that s when it truly feels like the hap-happiest season of all. These distinctly festive family homes throughout Dallas-Fort Worth are attracting visitors with their immersive displays, high-tech shows, quirky extras, and in one case lights worthy of a reality competition show.
