I wish I'd mentioned this a few days ago. My family and I went to Tucson to go to Winterhaven, the nicest neighborhood of Christmas lights in Southern AZ. It was very lovely--a whole subdivision where nearly every house puts up Christmas lights, usually on no small scale. Some are incredibly elaborate. Considering temps rarely have gotten below freezing here and I've been too busy to have a truly festive season, it was a nice experience, and it has become something of a tradition for my family.
