  1. Great list. I didn’t see it but you should add Ashbrooke Subdivision in Cumming to the list. Large subdivision where the majority of the homes (over 300 homes) are lit up like the Griswold’s. It is free to drive through but they do have a donation box to benefit a local charity. The official night (it will be crazy crowded) is the 18th but most everyone has their lights on all month.
