I have this theory that here in Los Angeles, what we lack in snow during the holidays we make up for in twinkle lights. And just like the cold takes months to thaw in other U.S. states, lights can been seen on houses here through February.

In the spirit of all things festive and electric (and so you can still see lights, but not have to worry about taking them down), here is a list of Holiday light celebrations close to Metro Bus or Rail. Be sure to start with the tree lighting happening this Monday in Union Station! The fun begins at 5 p.m.– just in time to join on your way home from work.

Many of the events below include performances, music, fireworks, seasonal nosh, and more, so be sure to click the links for details.
