This time of year, our street in Rancho Penasquitos CA becomes "Christmas Card Lane". Nearly every house in the neighborhood displays life-size holiday cards and characters from stories, movies, comics, etc. -- a couple hundred houses in all. Across the street from me are a train set, and Spiderman giving his holiday wishes. There are horse-drawn carraiges, musicians, carolers, and enterprising teenagers selling hot drinks and cookies. Tour buses travel from neighboring counties bringing people from Los Angeles, San Bernardino, and Riverside. During the next week we will have 3,000 to 5,000 people per night strolling the streets.
