Griffith Park is awful. Don't do it; it only encourages them. But Christmas Tree lane in Altadena is lovely. Here's some more:
Christmas Tree Lane, Altadena
Three blocks of trees decorated with colored lights. From downtown Pasadena, drive north on Lake Avenue, turn left on Woodbury and right on Santa Rosa to
Altadena Drive.
The Balian House (Balian Ice Cream), Altadena
This display includes 10,000 colored lights and numerous holiday depictions all over the front and side lawns of the 3 1/2 acre property. To reach the Balian house from Christmas Tree Lane, turn right on Altadena Drive and travel to Allen Avenue. Make a right turn on Allen and a left on Mendocino.
Upper Hastings Ranch, Pasadena
Each block of the area competes, creating displays with a common theme. Upper Hastings Ranch is bordered by Michillinda Avenue to the East, Sierra Madre Blvd. to the South and Riveria Drive to the West. From the 210 Freeway, take Michillinda Blvd. North to the lights.
St. Albans Road, San Marino
From Upper Hastings Ranch, take Michillinda South to Huntington drive and continue to St. Albans Road, turn right.
For additional information, call the Holiday Hotline at (877) 793-9911.
Peddler on the Roof is the first Sat of each month - I went last Saturday (next one isn't until January, now), and it's pretty good. Lots of jewelry when I was there.
