Since my boys were little one of our most cherished family traditions is getting into jammies, grabbing some popcorn and hot chocolate and then driving all over town to look at all of the amazing holiday light displays from the Times Colonist Christmas Lights Map . If you have an incredible display of your own you can email christmaslights@timescolonist.com to request your address be added to the map! A print version of the map will appear in the paper on Saturday, Dec. 16th, but they keep updating the online version throughout the holiday season!
Another way to give back this holiday season is in donating to the Times Colonist Christmas Fund . This fund is in its 67th year of raising money for those in need and is well on the way to their goal to $1,000,000.
