Four miles of extension cords, 750 channels of computerized animation, snowflake projectors and over 115,000 lights; it takes a lot of work to put together one of Atlanta's top Christmas lights displays.
But this display can't be found inside a resort, on a college campus or at a year-round attraction. This is some of what goes into Christmas in the Grove, a residential light display in Decatur.
Over the next few weeks, wsbtv.com will visit some of the top Christmas lights displays in the area. The first stop is Oak Grove Drive for Christmas in the Grove.

Tony and Katie Paradowski have brought smiles to many faces with their display over the last eight years. In 2013, the couple won ABC's "Great Light Fight."
The show runs 6:30 p.m.-10 p.m. Monday - Thursday and 6:30 p.m. - 11 p.m. Friday - Sunday, weather permitting. The display is free to visit, but bring along a few bucks as they collect money for The ALS Association of Georgia.
Stay tuned to wsbtv.com over the next few weeks to see more displays in the area.
LET IT GO! ❄️❄️❄️
