Noozhawk readers sent in photos of their own yards and indoor displays or holiday decorations around town that they wanted to share.

Some displays went all-in on strings of lights, others embraced inflatables, and some really put the Santa in Santa Barbara with large figures of St. Nick and his sleigh.

There were also plenty of people celebrating the county’s relatively warm winter weather with decorated palm trees and lawn flamingos and Santa Barbara beach vibes.

Local mountain ranges did get several days of snow last winter, so there’s always a (very) slight chance of a white Christmas.
