Monday, November 28th, 2011
The Christmas spirit is in the air now that Thanksgiving has officially passed. The month of December is filled with various holiday festivities and among them is the Valley’s tradition of displaying the most extravagant of holiday lights. As single family homes transform themselves into a Christmas wonderland, in the Greater Phoenix area you can expect anything from candy-cane houses, animation carved characters, a Ferris wheel, petting zoos, and various unique forms of live entertainment. One family house in Chandler is famous for serving popcorn, cocoa and cookies as they show holiday movies.
Arizona Celebration of Lights is a drive thru holiday lights display in Phoenix starts on November 19th and last through January 1st 2012. The organizers of this particular tour say that it is the state of Arizona’s largest display of holiday lights with more than 7,000,000 lights and 300 animated and still displays. On average about 140,000 people and 15, 000 cars pass through the display during this joyous season. This holiday tour lasts about a mile as you pass through five tunnels. They are open Sunday through Thursday and you can enjoy the holiday lights from 5:30pm to 9:00pm and on Friday, Saturdays and holidays their opened an extra hour, closing at 10pm. Glendale Glitters is another holiday tour in the area between November 25th and January 14th. A Holiday celebration in the historic downtown of Glendale is with 1.5 million multi-colored holiday lights throughout a twelve block area, from 6 to 10pm every evening. The majority of the holiday lights in the valley is spirited by single family homes, who open their yards to strangers in the spirit of Christmas, making it the best time of the year.
