Peacock

Peacock Lane is a 5 block street in Portland, Oregon which is notable because all of the houses are required to be adorned at Christmastime. During this instance, many people drive from all over the Portland area to view the decorated houses.The community has a website that has on its 1920s, each house in this quaint southeast locality has been decorating for Christmas. Mostly Tudors, the houses are adorned with not only beautiful stunning lights, but also nativity scenes, rotating Christmas trees and attractively life-like replicas of Santa and Frosty. This is a very popular Portland tradition and the crowds can get rather thick. It is wise to park several blocks away and walk, rather than drive from side to side the area. Better yet, take a ride in a horse-drawn carriage.
