Mapno (#J) Harwood Place, Springfield
"7900 influencing the neighborhood to decorate" I'm giving the nod to the whole street. Great neighborhood Christmas spirit.
7900 is the biggest colorful display surrounded by many others. I like across the street, the single yellow angel with white wings blowing a horn standing on a bed of blue lights. At one end is 7944 is a vision in white. White lights cover roof, icicles from edges, other white deer, trees, snowflakes with fruit tree(?). Be sure to drive the entire length of the street to see them all.

Mapno (#K) 8808 Copper Leaf Way, Fairfax Station
New 2007-Saw this one from Silverbrook Road. Large house on postage-stamp lot with lots of colorful lights. Icicle lights on house, large C7 lights outline property. Two large lighted deer look out of place with other small colorful decorations but very pretty display.
Mapno (#M) 11003 Hampton Road, Fairfax Station
Very colorful display with Bulls eye on the roof. Long driveway with looping white lights, scattered trees of green and red, red lamp posts and a trampoline outlined in red and blue lights. Very close to #16.
Apologize for fuzzy photo, no tripod.

Mapno (#N) 4520 Gage Street, Alexandria
Son of #13 Fairview (used to live on Hillside around the corner) moved here in 2007. Has blow molds and lighted figures covering the yard. He takes his father's old decorations and is instrumental in his father's roof display.
Mapno (#P) 2905 Preston Avenue, Alexandria
A small colorful display complete with music. 12/31/07 met Mr. Preston, he's been doing this for 10 years and it keeps getting bigger. Multicolored lights everywhere, on fence, trees, roof and grass and hanging down from trees. Large sparkling snowflakes on house.
Mapno (#Q) 8413(?) Overlook Street, Vienna
A very classy colorful home just off Cedar Lane. Neat green lights outline the roof and mark the sides of the house, also outlineing driveway posts. Each window is outlined with red lights and a red wreath/decoration. Driveway island outlined in white lights with lighted candy canes on driveway posts. Just beautiful.
Mapno (#R) 8311 Guinevere, Fairfax
