Thu, December 14, 2006 - 12:57 PMNot Oakland, but Alameda. Just go over the High Street Bridge to Thompson Avenue. It's unofficially called Christmas Tree Lane. A long block and the houses on both sides are wonderfully decorated. Every single house has lights. They also have a Santa in the evenings after 6 pm in the median strip. We go every year. You can park and walk or just slowly drive up and down the block. -
