This is hardly comprehensive, but it&#8217;ll get you going. I&#8217;ve resurrected last year&#8217;s Google Map of Bismarck-Mandan Christmas Lights for this year, with an addition or two and, sadly, a few subtractions. Highlights include:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; My friend Jerry&#8217;s &#8220;Peanuts&#8221; display on Calgary &amp; Montreal;<br \/>\n&#8211; Chmielewski&#8217;s Christmas Corner on Kennedy &amp; 23rd Street;<br \/>\n&#8211; Northview Lane;<br \/>\n&#8211; Acres of musical lights with a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lightorama.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Light-O-Rama show<\/a> on Chestnut Lane;<br \/>\n&#8211; Dykshoorn Park in Mandan;<br \/>\n&#8211; Christmas in the Park in Bismarck;<br \/>\n&#8211; and a wooden cartoon menagerie on west Avenue C.<\/p>\n<p>Notably absent are displays on 4th and Divide, Ridgeview lane, West View Place. I&#8217;m sorry to see those places dark, since they had such wonderful Christmas displays in the past.<\/p>\n<p><center>The link is easy to remember:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.tinyurl.com\/bismarck-mandanchristmaslights\" target=\"_blank\">www.tinyurl.com\/bismarck-mandanchristmaslights<\/a>.<\/center><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s been an extremely busy Christmas season, with multiple live shows and lots of other videos on my plate. I haven&#8217;t had much time to go out searching for lights this year. As a result, I merely updated last year&#8217;s list the best I could.
