Christmas is for children. Well, children of all ages. And nowhere did we feel it more than at Candy Cane Lane in Pacific Grove, California, where it’s become a tradition for homeowners to put up a display for Monterey County residents and tourists.
Along with the dazzling lights that adorned trees, fences, roofs and eaves, we found a variety of cartoon characters familiar to all generations. There were inflatables of Snoopy and the Charlie Brown gang, Snow White and her dwarves, the Simpsons, Minions and Bluey’s family, which is our toddler’s flavor-of-the-month.
The Candy Cane Lane homeowners spend out of their own pockets for the grand display in the neighborhood which has a small common area called Platt Park where they’ve put up a mini-carnival site complete with Ferris wheel. The ride was just a replica but looked so real it left people gaping.
The display started on Dec 6 and runs through New Year’s Eve, according to homeowners, who have put up a map and a brief backgrounder here.
