The famous, semi-overrated, yet semi-enchanting part of SE Portland known as Peacock Lane...visiting is a Hallin family tradition. We make it on up to this homy little street every few years when residents of the lane adorn their tudor-style homes with lights and other festive Christmas ornaments. Hot chocolate, sleigh rides, and holiday music, draw in crowds of viewers to what I would call a "humble" light display. It's cute and charming, but what really makes it an event, more so than the lights themselves, is the fact that it is an old tradition that locals can delight in experiencing together.

The bottom left house was for sale, offering the Grinch lawn embellishment with the purchase of the home. We were sold.
We had fun as a family taking pictures, navigating the crowds, and sipping cocoa. Our venture through Peacock Lane followed a day of holiday shopping and going out to eat. A true, much needed family affair. :)
