COLORADO, USA — The most magical time of year is upon us, and Christmas lights will again be part of the festivities in the Centennial State.
Coloradans go all-out when it comes to Christmas lights, and that's why we want your help.
Show your fellow Coloradans the best lights in your neighborhood by uploading them to the "Near Me" section of the 9NEWS app. Your photos will be added to a statewide map highlighting the best places to see light displays around the state.
