Thousands of San Antonians flock to Windcrest to view the elaborate neighborhood Christmas light displays from mid-December through New Year's Eve each year.Driving through the streets of Windcrest is certainly a great way to see the lights. However, this season you can also take a bike tour through Windcrest. The Hill Country Bicycle Touring Club usually takes about a six mile ride through the most picturesque areas to view the Christmas lights.

We Love Christmas Lights in Schertz
Jeff and Rhonda Womack decorate their home with an elaborate Christmas Light display each year. The lights are on display from Thanksgiving through the first week of January.The lights turn on each night at 6:15pm and turn off at 10:15pm, except for Christmas Eve when the lights are on until Midnight.
Every year, the Womacks also use this time to give back to the community. This year, they are working with Operation HomeFront to help deployed military members and the families who they have left behind. They are doing this through a food drive and the donation of gift cards. Please help out with a donation if possible.
Note the Womacks are not having a lights up in 2007, as they are moving. They promise to be back with a bigger and better display in 2008
