Looking for places to see the best Christmas displays, sight, lights whatever...(within 1 to 2 hours of Charlotte area)
Blowing Rock looks like it would be very nice during the holidays.
The Festival of Lights at Tanglewood Park (http://www.forsyth.cc/tanglewood/fol_info.aspx - broken link). It's in Clemmons about 1.5 hours north of Charlotte.

Entering our 17th season, Tanglewood’s Festival of Lights continues to be one of the largest and most spectacular light shows in the entire southeast. From storybook scenes to Holiday themes, over one hundred displays and over a million lights fill Tanglewood Park with the entire splendor and joy of the Holiday season.
Blowing Rock is nice! We make a drive around Chetola to see their light displays . . . it is a tradition. The lake reflects the lights and makes the scene quite festive. You have to put a trip to the High Country on the list!!!

I think Blowing Rock is on my list of new favorite places to visit. I've already been there 3 times. I keep telling my son when he starts school at APP State he is going to see me more then he does now. You can imagine how thrilled he is about that.
Then spend the rest of the afternoon til sunset in old style Moravian town Old Salem.
