It has been years since we drove through the Kimberling City display, but we were amazed at how animated the lights were. It was a great display. Of course, after walking through the Old Time Christmas at SDC, I really don't need to go driving through lights. Our experience at SDC is more intimate (despite the large crowds) and we feel more a part of the display. Driving through a display is more akin to watching the light displays on the Travel Channel.
If anyone is around Chickasha, Oklahoma, you should stop at their display and walk through, see Santa, cross the lake bridge, and take a horse-drawn wagon ride. Then find Jake's Ribs and have a feast!
