One of the highlights every Christmas is going to see the light displays of some of the houses in the Sacramento area. There are a few streets where it's practically a requirement that you put up an obscene light and diorama display during Christmas, and they attract hordes of visitors. Often, they ask visitors to donate something, canned goods, clothes, toys, etc., in return for coming to view the light displays. We usually bring a nice can of chinese pickled vegetables or some sort of thing. :D
This year was great because this was the first year that Cecilia really understood the light displays and enjoyed them. We went from house to house and she basically knew most of the characters! I've put together a video montage, but the progression goes from Rudolph, to Disney characters, to Santa, to Frosty (who is exercising!), to a winter wonderland scene, to a huge dizzying tunnel of lights (meant to induce seizures I think), Spongebob Squarepants, and finally, Snoopy and Charlie Brown.
One house also had some nice Christmas music playing, and at 9pm at night, there's the Jang family dancing to the Christmas music to keep Cecilia company:
Finally, I put this video up because this display was particularly impressive. The lights were arranged to look like a piano, and the keys lit up in sync to Christmas music playing on one of te local radio stations:
