I knew about Norton's Winter Wonderland for a few years because of the review that my friend Cris I…read morewrote on Yelp (thanks Cris!). Even if I live pretty close by, I never got around to check out the beautiful Wonderland that the Norton family creates every year in front of their house in Burbank! I guess we were too spoiled with many Christmas activities! This year I promised myself that we'd go and check it out and lift our spirits! Maybe it worked out for the best since Christmas festivities were rare this year! I stopped by last night, glad I did. Who knew that'd be the last night since they started to pack it up due to the upcoming rain! Easy street parking, not many people when we showed up. We did come just after sunset. The holiday lights can be seen from further away. The place is so joyful and fun: a carousel, a cute train, a wheel that spins around! Music, so many details, very cool and this display puts you the holiday mood right away! Free, donate if you can. It goes till 9 pm. There are other cute decorated houses around if you want to take a nice walk around. Wear your mask and be patient, stay away from people, bring a camera. You need to take some photos here, share them, bring joy to others! I'm glad they decided to keep the tradition especially this year! We so needed a slice of Wonderland and joy for this holiday season! Thank You!

This ongoing Burbank attraction for 48 years that has been featured in many TV news and print…read moremedia, deserve a page of its own so we can pay a tribute to the dedicated owners, Dick and Pam Norton. The yard may be small but it's packed of a lot of amazing Christmas decorations admired by not just kids but parents alike. There's a train complete with steam coming off and its front wheels turning. A revolving Ferris wheel, a rotating carousel, moving seesaws, and many other animated objects. And don't forget the wonderful light displays! I took some pictures and videos to share but you can check their website for more: http://www.dicknorton.com/xmas/xmashome.html http://nortonswinterwonderland.com/ http://californiachristmaslights.com/Properties/Detail.asp?i=1090 The place is very popular and so it's expectedly busy all the time. Lots of street parking available but please be courteous of the neighbors. Please drive carefully and pay attention to people walking by and crossing the streets.

A lot of houses decorate for the Holidays in Burbank and I LOVE it! It makes it really fun to go…read morearound town checking out the holiday spirit. I went to Holiday Fantasies Come To Life house this week to check out their Halloween magic. It was so awesome and perfect for Disney fans. This house was absolutely Disney-fied from head to toe, with ghouls and ghosts galore. I was in love with all of the lights. Not only was the entire house decorated BOOtifully for Halloween, but they had character actors there. They even had a hot dog vendor on site! So LA and I love it. Important to note though, this is someone's house. It's not a business or a shop, but they do accept donations to keep their fun going! This house's decorations are awe inspiring and I loved it! Their lights double for the Christmas Holiday season so make your way over there for some cheer.

I'd been here twice on different occasions. The first one for Christmas and just last night, I went…read moreto see their Halloween decorations. It might not be the best in Halloween decor but I appreciate that they have shows performed by the different characters. I've seen life sized characters in costumes which includes Mickey Mouse, Captain Hook, Cruella Deville, Maleficent, and the witch in Snow White. I do understand that different characters perform routinely. I saw Captain Hook perform a fire dance in amazement of the crowd. Just like any other houses in Burbank, it's free to visit but they do ask people to donate voluntarily. There's also a photo opportunity to get a photo with the characters also free of charge.

Aldik is amazing during the holidays! Their whole store is decked out in high end Christmas decor,…read morewith different sections decorated in different themes/color schemes. I loved the unique ornaments, they had everything from giant ice cream cones to Hello Kitty lights, hand painted ornaments from Poland and upside down Christmas trees (aka umbrella trees). I was very inspired by the decorations in store of ways to decorate my own tree at home. As prices are high here, I would wait until the after Christmas sales to pick up something (unless you have a big Christmas bonus). Parking can be tricky as the lot is kind of tight.

If you haven't already gone at Christmas, you have to! At Christmas, the place is magical filled…read morewith beautiful trees and decorations. It's the place where decorators go to fill up their holiday shopping bags. It's a great place to go if you're stuck for ideas on how to decorate a tree. But they also have decorations for mantels and things that go under the tree. Everywhere you look, your eyes are filled with Christmas joy. The prices are a little steep. But you get what you pay for because the decorations are exquisite. You're gonna find things there that you won't find anywhere else. And if you're like me, you wait until after Christmas to get some of the most beautiful decorations on sale. If you'd like they can do custom designs for you. And they will decorate your home upon request. Apparently they have clients that they've been decorating for years. And I can see why. There's plenty of staff to help you if you need it and they are all pleasant and happy. There is photo ops if you want to take pictures on Santa sleigh. And they encourage kids to come see all the beautiful displays.

The store is extremely clean, organized, and easy to shop in. I love that they have several showroom setups where you can actually see different Christmas tree designs and get ideas for decorating. It really helps you understand what colors are trendy and how to match everything perfectly. If you love holiday décor or want inspiration for your home, Evis Design is definitely the place to go!

When you walk inside you are surrounded by all things Christmas decor. Even though it is a sensory overload, they do divide each room by color themes. You can find all the pink/candy decor in one area, frosty white decor in another, red candy cane, forest green, black and white checkered and more. The details on these items are beautiful, especially the glittery flower stems. Some are even just made of jewels. You could spend a lot of time just taking it all in, just be careful not to get glitter in your eyes as there is a ton of glittery merchandise. I ended up getting enough stems to fill two vases and I would highly recommend anyone who loves Christmas decor to come and enjoy this great store.

This man CONTINUES with this bullshit.... SMH. There was no…read moreevent, there was no problem with payment. This man was very disrespectful, did NOT do a good job and ultimately was paid and we literally HAD NO ENJOYMENT. The lights were NOT done correctly, nor was it done tastefully. They did not work for even a week properly. He never repaired anything and he did not attempt to rectify the situation. We were very unhappy with the work, the fact that he was reckless and unprofessional and then argumentative was too much and we PAID to have everything removed within 2 weeks of the set up! This man was paid and we NEVER EVEN ENJOYED THE LIGHTS!! Now he's rebutting my review attempting to make it about money... he kept doing this the while time and making reference to money like we're poor or something... I think because we are black people. But we're obviously not poor and money was not the issue... His rant proves what I initially thought, he's racist and thought he would make us accept something that was definitely sub par... no thank YOU!! I stand by my review. This man has no integrity and plays games and lies. His bullying and harassment didn't work and he was paid to remove everything and we won't use him again. Thank YOU!

beetlejuice! Beetlejuice! BEETLEJUICCCCCCCCCEEEEE!!!…read more There are a bunch of houses in Burbank that go all out for Halloween and this Beetlejuice House is a little bit on the other side of town from those. However, there's a ton of food places by here so it's still worth a spot either first or last on your route to pair with some eats. If you're a fan of this creepy Tim Burton movie, you'll be a fan of this house. They go all out with tons of moving parts, a few interaction type elements, SANDWORMS!, and all of your favorite fun scenes from the movie. Legit it's so good. It was even complete with Harry Belafonte playing through the speakers and a ghoulish Dalia dancing and then raising to the sky while dancing - just like the movie. Brilliant idea! Loved it and would definitely come by again next year!

They have been perfect and I have only ever needed to change one bulb. But I opened the back door a couple of days ago and two of the strings had fallen -- the hook holding them to the house had pulled out of the stucco. I immediately called and Nick was amazing. He asked for a couple of pictures of what had happened and had someone out here today (48 hrs later) to fix it. Alex texted with an accurate ETA and the job got done perfectly. I have recommended String Lights LA over and over again, and this just confirms my confidence in them. Professional, polite and competent. No wonder they are still around! Thanks.
