Holiday lights: Santa drives Jimmy Johnson’s car on Garst Cabin Drive

We have another report of a big display of holiday lights in Southwest Roanoke County. This one is from Mike Worrell, who lives at 3132 Garst Cabin Drive, and it’s got a NASCAR element involved.

Mike tell us his Christmas lights spectacular includes “13 blow up figures, including a nativity, Frosty, The Grinch, Jimmy Johnson’s Lowe’s Chevrolet with Santa driving, a carousel and several others.”

We’ve now added Mike’s location to our online map of holiday lights displays around the region. Do you have a big show of lights? Let us know. And even if you don’t, you can get into the holiday spirit by taking a picture of your tree, or some other form of holiday merriment. You can share at news@swo-co.com
