Lindo Lane - Off East Fifth Avenue This behemoth tree with its white star on top is a favorite in the light show. It's particularly stunning if Lindo Channel is flowing. This light wizard creates the "ornaments" from chicken wire balls strung with lights.39.75218050266528 -121.8331217765808139.75218050266528-121.83312177658081495654Fri, 08 Dec 2006 00:47:46 -0500http://www.mapbuilder.net/users/quesoguapo/305811206 West Wind Dr. - Nord Avenue to Oak Way Get the feeling that elves are getting into mischief right under Santa and Mrs. Claus' nose? There are homemade elves everywhere here, including two new ones. And who can resist the draw of a real Ford tractor filled with gifts. Elf faces are more life-like, and Santa got a facelift this year. Bet he didn't pay as much as some Hollywood stars. Elves and the famous couple get their realism through stretchy material and wire "bones." This decorator proves you don't have to have a tree to have a lit tree. Stringing lights back and forth on a ladder does the trick. 39.73588775557465 -121.8785476684570339.73588775557465-121.87854766845703495659Fri, 08 Dec 2006 00:47:46 -0500http://www.mapbuilder.net/users/quesoguapo/305811464 Manzanita Ave - Between Ceanothus and Marigold avenues It's a little unusual to find apartment dwellers adorning their outside walls, but this group and the builder owner got hopping. Santa looks like he's jumping out of someone's window.39.75664280575488 -121.8178546428680439.75664280575488-121.81785464286804495658Fri, 08 Dec 2006 00:47:46 -0500http://www.mapbuilder.net/users/quesoguapo/305811518 E. Lassen Ave - East of Eaton Road A Santa workshop mural on the garage door, and a yard full of lights that keeps beat to Christmas music are a few of the unusual things at this house. A tiny Santa and his friends are taking a rest on the moving chairlift. However, security cameras are keeping an eye on this spectacular yard. Not a bad strategy to show off a house for sale!39.776270206604536 -121.8317806720733639.776270206604536-121.83178067207336495668Fri, 08 Dec 2006 00:51:03 -0500http://www.mapbuilder.net/users/quesoguapo/305811539 La Linda Lane - off Nord Avenue This family's military heritage surfaces with a patriotic light display of flags and symbols. With a son now out of Iraq and making the military a career, this light crafter feels extra reason to display the red, white and blue. Top on his Christmas list is to have his children and grandchildren come for a visit and help decorate for Christmas. Santa will be out on the lawn, handing out candy canes, 6-9 p.m. from Dec. 18-23.39.73654778981295 -121.8749105930328439.73654778981295-121.87491059303284495665Fri, 08 Dec 2006 00:47:46 -0500http://www.mapbuilder.net/users/quesoguapo/3058119 Skymountain Circle - Off Wildflower Court It's hard to imagine that creating this light display is this crafter's "relaxation," but he swears it is. Having taken out a cottonwood tree, there's even more room on this lawn to stuff. The rooftop runway will help Rudolph find the mark through any valley fog. While offspring have gone off to work and university, this is one labor of love that's a family delight. This marks Year No. 12 for these folks. Neighbors have caught the spirit as well. Santa will have no trouble finding this neighborhood.39.73479043466471 -121.8027484416961739.73479043466471-121.80274844169617495667Fri, 08 Dec 2006 00:49:49 -0500http://www.mapbuilder.net/users/quesoguapo/305812158 LaRocco Dr Forest Avenue to Bar Triangle Melody Gain and Daniel Roswell adjust a Pooh Christmas display on their front lawn on La Rocca Drive.

Every year, it's just a little different. Last year, a spectacular display of poinsettias and a classic Chevy cut-out bearing Santa and The Mrs. This year, the happy couple has broken into song.

Red candy canes hang jauntily from the trees. The lit, tail-wagging seal is rather unusual. Adjacent Quista Drive has some nice displays as well. 39.746340305169106 -121.876487731933639.746340305169106-121.8764877319336495660Fri, 08 Dec 2006 00:47:46 -0500http://www.mapbuilder.net/users/quesoguapo/30581965 Marjorie Lane - Cohasset Road to Manzanita Avenue We think the light-strung windmill is one-of-a-kind, and there's plenty going on in this scene to capture anyone's attention.39.757796 -121.84195139.757796-121.841951495670Fri, 08 Dec 2006 00:53:38 -0500http://www.mapbuilder.net/users/quesoguapo/30581Amber Grove - The Esplanade off Yellowstone Dr Choose Yellowstone, Greenfield or Amber Grove drives to get inside the neighborhood and wander around.
