There's a neighborhood called Winterhaven where all the neighbors excessively decorate for Christmas.

It becomes a spectacle of lights that draws people all over the city who walk through it to enjoy the holiday spirit.

So yesterday, we rented a party bike and biked through the neighborhood. It's honestly the best, most fun way to experience the neighborhood.

Mostly because you get to obnoxiously yell "MERRY CHRISTMAS!" to everyone who's waddling in the way of the bike as it comes careening down the street.

That's the secret phrase to get people to hightail it out of the way.

There are a lot of gimmicky decorations all over Winterhaven. 

From the typical Christmas lights, blow-up snowmen and Santas, to cardboard cutouts of the Griswolds, the jerseys of the UA basketball team, and a giant cactus lit up like a penis...

Christmas is for children, but for some it's also just an opportunity to be childish.

But my favorite has to be the Wishing Tree.

One house has a big Wishing Tree with a station where you could write a wish on a strip of paper and staple it with the rest of the wishes.

This girl started in in 7th grade back in 2000, and the tree's kept growing ever since.

Now it's a giant tree for of people's wishes and heart's desires. It's exactly the sort of long-term vision that creates lasting art.

So I popped off the bike and wrote down my wish,

"Some goddamn peace and quiet," I wrote with a tired smile.

We'll see how that wish plays out in 2024, but if you're wishing for better mixes this holiday season, you can grab my Easy Mix Apporach today at a big Holiday Discount.
