LA Tour O’ Lights: 2 Homes Dazzle With Unique Holiday Displays
LOS ANGELES, CA — The holiday light displays illuminating neighborhoods in Los Angeles County aren’t to be outdone this holiday season.
As part of Patch’s annual Holiday Tour O’ Lights, we’ve rounded up a couple of the submissions we’ve received so far from Angelenos. From one family who turned a tragedy into a cheerful holiday spectacle to a serene wonderland, you won’t want to miss these submissions.
Marina Del Rey – 821 Dickson St.
If you’re looking for a dazzling display of holiday spirit, look no further than the Moses family’s home. What began as a simple gesture of comfort in the wake of Hurricane Katrina nearly 20 years ago has become a yearly tradition.

After the storm devastated Ocean Springs, Mississippi in August of 2005, Karen Moses’ family was displaced. Shortly after, she welcomed her 15-year-old niece into her home to live for a time.
Just before Halloween, Moses decided to try and lift her niece’s spirits by decorating her home to the nines. Moses said the festive display brought joy to everyone who saw it, and a neighbor’s enthusiastic comment—”I can’t wait to see what you do for Christmas!”—inspired her to go even bigger for December that year.

“And so it began,” she said.
Every year since, the Moses family has created a magical wonderland featuring twinkling lights, whimsical characters, and unique themes that change annually.
“We tried to do it a little different every year,” she said, adding, “We don’t have a name for it, but would love to come up with something cool and catchy!”

Beverlywood – 9127 Cresta Dr.
Amid twinkling stars, inflatable snowmen and blinking string lights, there’s something unique about Tim Green’s display on Cresta Drive in the Beverlywood neighborhood of Los Angeles.
At 9127 Cresta Dr., rectangular, glowing lanterns hang gracefully from the trees like luminous ornaments, their warm light contrasting beautifully with an enchanting wash of purple that illuminates the house. Twinkling icicle lights also add a touch of shimmering winter charm to the display.
Be sure to visit this tranquil wonderland, courtesy of the Green family.
