One of my favorite memories of Christmas past was when we lived in So. CA. Each year we would drive up the mountain to the overlook and view the city amass with Christmas lights. It was such a beautiful sight. Moving to WI there was no mountain to drive up but the city near us did a drive-through Christmas light display. There is something magical about the lights that brings out the child in all of us.
It is believed that the first outdoor public electric light Christmas Holiday display was organized by Fredrick Nash and the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce in Altadena, California, on Santa Rosa Avenue, called Christmas Tree Lane. Christmas Tree Lane in Altadena has been continuously lit except during WW2 since 1920.
Do you have your lights up? Please share a picture of your house, your tree, or someone enjoying the lights of the holidays.
