The Wilmington area is well decorated for the holidays.
From one home to neighborhoods, the region definitely has the Christmas spirit. Several of the displays include dazzling lights and music alongside blow-up figures of Santa Claus and elves.
Here are a few of the many to enjoy.

Melton Drive, Wilmington
If you're a fan of blow-up decorations, then you should definitely head to Melton Drive in Wilmington. Blow ups of every shape and size line both sides of the driveway that leads to their home. Some are of your favorite Christmas characters, such as the Grinch that greets you at the entrance or the cutouts of Cousin Eddie and others from the "Christmas Vacation" movie. To top it off there is a giant Christmas tree at the end of the driveway that you'll love to see.
The Meltons have been sharing their Christmas decorations during the holidays for over 20 years.
