I'm a little late commenting....but one of my best memories of Dallas was going from uptown (Turtle Creek) through Highland Park during the holidays and see all the fantastic Christmas decorations. Those people truly pulled out all the stops. And they also decorated in Easter and on July 4.  They were such amazing displays!
