One of the best parts of the holiday season (aside from the real reason for the season) is checking out the Holt Road Christmas Lights display, which is easily among the best Christmas light displays in North Carolina. Some believe the origin of holiday lights traces back to when Christmas trees were lit up with candles. The candles signified Christ lighting the world. Fast forward to the mid-1900s when folks in America began affixing strings of lights to their trees and outlining their homes during the holidays — and, thankfully, that tradition is still alive, especially along Holt Road in Apex, NC. Check out these Holt Road Christmas Lights photos and feel the spirit of the season in your heart.
