Do you know of some crazy person who covered their house in more than two million twinkling Christmas lights this year? If so, tell us so we can crash that holiday party. Otherwise we think you should join us this weekend at the Texas Motor Speedway Gift of Lights for a bit of family light-seeing. Spread across the 1.7-mile drive are more than 600 lighted displays, so skip your annual neighborhood cruise and start a new holiday tradition. Pack the family into the SUV and head to the Texas Motor Speedway (3545 Lone Star Circle, Fort Worth) from 5:30 to 9 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays and 5:30 to 10 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, through January 6. Admission is $15 to $20 per car, with proceeds benefiting the Tarrant Area Food Bank, Goodwill Industries and KLTY Christmas Wish. Call 765-664-3918 or visit giftoflightstms.com.
