Anybody know of any good spots to see Xmas lights in the South Bay?

My girl wants to drive around tonight and see all the pretty Christmas lights.

We live in this area:



More specifically Cupertino area(ish)

Anyone know of any good neighborhoods that are really done up?

This is where we went. It was pretty nice, till I found out it was 15 dollars to get in.

Never done it before though so it was cool and my girl liked it

If you want to go to Palo alto, they have what is called "christmas tree lane"
www.christmastreelane.org

You can walk and drive around. Pretty nice houses too.

Although not in the South Bay, but in Fremont, on Zacate ave between Espada Ct and Zacate Pl., there are a couple cul de sac's with all Victorian style houses and they do go all out with christmas decorations.
