As we approach the festive and fun season of Christmas, there is nothing more exciting than spending time with our family and friends and watching the Aliso Viejo light up with decorations.
The tradition of Christmas lights has existed since the late 1800s and has always been cherished during the holiday season. Communities usually decorate their houses and neighborhoods as well as public buildings in order to make the town festive.
In addition, there are often competitions available for different Christmas decorations and lights within communities, making the concept even more exciting. From minimalist designs featuring simple, elegant white light to over-the-top extravagant lights with music and animated figures, each neighborhood offers something unique and traditional.
A beloved tradition is the Christmas lights tour where families often spend time together by driving around decorated neighborhoods, admiring efforts and creativity. For many, it can be an annual ritual that has been passed down from generation to generation.
