Richmond's dazzling tacky lights are the absolute best Christmas light displays in all of Virginia.

Driving the news: Travel and Leisure magazine rounded up the best Christmas displays in every state and, of course, our tacky lights, and the accompanying Tacky Light Tours, came out on top.

"Virginia has plenty of pristine houses decorated with all-white strands, but Richmond's famed Tacky Lights Tour is just so much more fun," the publication wrote.

😳 Why it matters: Some tacky light displays begin the day after Thanksgiving, which somehow is next week.

The bottom line: We're No. 1.

That means NoVa, Hampton Roads and all of Southwest/Southside Virginia are not.
