Not the largest Christmas light display in the history of mankind. We'll leave that for reality TV. If you want heart and continuity, however, year after year, this is the spot. Pick a background. Pose the kids. Come back again next year. Repeat.
Easily accessible. Just off 44th Street, south of Camelback. Parking can be a challenge, but there's always a spot somewhere on the street. Just don't block a driveway. The neighbors here deserve a bit of kindness in exchange for their amazing tolerance.
Lots of lights to view. Bubbles for the kids to chase. Window displays full of animated characters. A courtyard in which to walk. Random Christmas decorations for sale. Donate a buck or two to help pay for the electricity. Enjoy hot cocoa ($1) and a cookie or Rice Krispie treat ($1). Let the kids wander in wonder.
One bit of bad news. The resident Christmas dog, now sixteen years old, has been forced into retirement for health reasons. That's 112 years of Christmas joy for us to be thankful for in dog years!
