CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Every year it seems to get bigger and better, Candy Cane Lane is alive and well, and while it may not feel like Christmas, it definitely looks like Christmas.
It's an event to look forward to.
"We get people waiting for nighttime. As soon as it gets dark, they start walking by," said Nereida Galvan, who owns a house on Candy Cane Lane.
Candy Cane Lane welcomes the community every year, and it's been that way for decades.
"I live in San Antonio now, but I come and visit during the holidays," said a Candy Cane Lane goer. "This is a tradition. It's a family tradition. We do this every year."
For the last few years, Nereida Galvan and her family go big on the house decorations and pretty much light up the town. She said it's never for her though, but for the smile on others.
"I think everybody just likes to see the joy of the children and for the people in general, so we all come together and put it on for the families and the community," Galvan said.
During a difficult time like living in a pandemic, the power of Christmas joy can go a long way.
"To be able to cherish what you do have when you have it," she added.
The lights will continue through Christmas.
