The Uting Family Christmas Lights Tour 2026
Every Christmas display our family visits this season — scored by all five of us:
Chris, Kelsey, Emma (10), Rhett (8) and Sadie (4). What we liked, what the kids loved, and how each stop stacks up.
How the tour works: Kelsey drives (she loves to), Dad films from the passenger seat,
and on the way home everybody gives their score out of 10 — the same ranking system our family
used on our Disney rides. New stops get added as we go, all season long.

The leaderboard opens with our first stop — Thanksgiving week at Finney's Christmas Wonderland.
