Raymond Henson, SRES, GRI it's amazing. It's been going on for many, many years.  There is a crew that puts out luminarios all over the place.  They light them about 5:00 and that's when people start coming.......lots of them.Many, many  homes are decked to the max. Families are in their front yards. It will probably be somewhat toned down this year.....but spectacular anyway!

Anna Banana Kruchten CRS CRB, Phoenix Broker, It sounds fantastic and I would love to see it.  I am also looking forward to the day I can see the luminaries at the Desert Botanical Gardens.  Have you been there?  https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/arizona/garden-christmas-az/

I have been to the gardens, just not at Christmas time.

Hi Raymond Henson, SRES, GRI 
I so appreciate those who make the effort to decorate their homes for our enjoyment.  That car looks like the 1930 Model A Cabriolet my husband restored. His was tan.

Love this, Ray! I live in a neighborhood that was built from around 2002 through 2010. The architecture is all turn of last century with 21st century interiors. Our neighborhood is one that people come from far and wide to see the Christmas lights each year.

Good Morning, Grant Schneider.  Since Mary Margaret loves the candy canes, I am about 95% we will have them next year and I will take pictures!

If the commute was a little shorter, Nina Hollander, we would definitely be driving through the neighborhood to enjoy the Christmas lights.
