With a tradition that has gone on since 1985, the Christmas lights in the Sleepy Hollow section of Torrance have been put back up in its transformation to Candy Cane Lane. While it is still a couple of weeks until Christmas, our visit to Sleepy Hollow last night revealed that most of the Christmas decorations seem to be up and those in the know about the Christmas Light Extravaganza have already started showing up to view the lively decorations. While it was a little chilly last night, at least it was not wet or windy, so walking up and down the streets was a pleasant affair.
The lights at Candy Cane Lane are on from 6:00 PM until 10:00 and will be on every night through the evening of January 1, 2014. If weather permits, I recommend parking and walking through the neighborhood. Even if it is chilly there are plenty of people selling hot chocolate, home-baked cookies and other snacks to help warm you up. There are carolers, musicians and if you look closely, Santa Claus may even be found. It is great family fun for all ages. It does not matter how many times you have visited Candy Cane Lane, it is always a good time. If you are unfamiliar with the area, you can read my detailed directions on how to get there from anywhere in the Los Angeles area. Merry Christmas.
