This year marked my families 9th annual Christmas light tour, it has become one of our favorite holiday traditions. We rent a limo bus, along with 40 of our closet friends and family. We view Christmas lights and tour homes decorated with Christmas cheer. Many of these homeowner’s start as early as July to bring us this Christmas spectacular. I would like to share with you some of our favorites homes on the tour, west valley to east valley. Don’t forget Glendale Glitters, street fair and over 1 million lights! On your way stop by 4237 W. State Ave. This has always been one of our favorites, this is a walk through tour and you will not believe you eyes.  From our family to yours, enjoy the tour and have a very Merry Christmas.
