In two short days December, a.k.a., the most wonderful time of the year begins. While here in Phoenix we probably won’t get a White Christmas, there are plenty of fun holiday festivities to get you in the mood. One of my favorite things to do with friends and family this time of year is t0 visit the many spectacular light shows we have in the Valley.
