OK Cincinnati, it's time. Bundle up the kids, start your engines and hit the road for the traditional holiday drive-about.

You know the one we mean - where you wander around town looking for the really good light shows. Sometimes you get lucky and find a zillion. Sometimes it's, well, kind of dim.

Wellsir, you'll do better if you have a plan. Last week The Enquirer asked readers to send us the addresses of their favorite light displays. And they did - 86 readers offered the addresses of what they assured us were the best shows in town.

Here are (in no particular order) our Readers' Picks of the best holiday light displays in Greater Cincinnati.
