If you like Christmas light displays, make your way over to Castaic's Hasley Hills home tracts. All seven phases of the Hasley Hills community will be participating in a light contest, and many homeowners have taken the challenge in stride. The major cross streets for the community are The Old Road and Hasley Canyon.

Other spots that can light up your night include Wakefield Court in Saugus (off of Copperhill via Courtland Way), Blueridge Drive in Valencia (off of Hillsborough Parkway), Oakvale Drive in Valencia (west of Tournament Road), Gina Court in Saugus (off of Via Joyce) and Brooks in Stevenson Ranch (off of Poe Parkway). More information about these sites, including Thomas Guide notations, can be found at www.santaclaritaguide.com.

For a full holiday experience, we suggest stashing a thermos of hot cider, gingerbread cookies and a holiday CD in the back seat.

And remember, there are a lot of folks who tour these neighborhoods on foot, so please drive carefully.
