The 3200 block of Thompson Avenue in Alameda is often referred to as Christmas Tree Lane, a neighborhood with 55 houses that put your simple string of white lights to shame every December. 🎄
If you’re hanging out in San Francisco during the holiday season, you might think all the Christmas cheer you could ever want is in and around Union Square. But locals know that to be truly enveloped in December merriment, you’ve got to head across the Bay to Christmas Tree Lane.
Peer pressure aside, the stretch between High Street and Fernside Boulevard is glittering from end to end, each house decked out from sidewalk to roof with twinkling lights, towering lawn ornaments, seasonal figurines and sometimes even coordinated holiday music. Steve Geahry, head of the planning committee for the block, said he visited for the first time 20 years ago when some friends took him to see the decorations. He said from that moment it was his dream to one day move onto the block.
