Christmas lights on Candy cane lane, West Allies, Wisconsin

-
Finally the Christmas fun begins. So I choose nearest place to view Christmas lights. It was a little cold so we decided to drive by the street and enjoy the view.


History of Candy Cane Lane


Candy cane Lane holiday lights had started In the year of 1984. These holiday lights are not sponsored by any professional. But the group of neighbors living in West Allis, Wisconsin decorate their houses. The donations collected on Candy Cane Lane will go to the MACC (Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer, Inc.) Fund. 



They collect donations in honor of a neighbor's child. The neighbors worked in concert in decorating their homes and encouraged visitors to make a small donation as they drove through the festively enhanced neighborhood. (Source:- candy cane lane website)



All the money raised went to support research, treatment, and the eventual discovery of a cure for childhood cancers and related blood diseases.



Candy Cane Lane is in West Allis, Wisconsin, from Montana Avenue on the north to Oklahoma Avenue on the south and from 96th Street on the west, to 92nd Street on the east. 



We started from the 96th street and Oklahoma avenue and we take turns from Montana avenue towards next street. It will become Zigzag pattern. Both sides of the street are decorated beautifully. You can park one or two streets away and walk down the street if you want. There will number of cars driving by so be patient.

I have been so busy lately and found it difficult to balance my life with blogging work and household chores. As you know household chores never end. Everyday same routine of cooking, cleaning and do the dishes keeps me busy and don’t get enough time for my blog as well. Since I want to save my time I have decided to start a meal prep on weekends, so I can save my time from cooking dinners from scratch. But what about cleaning? Keep the kitchen clean and hygienic is very important for our health. Hence I was looking for a good cleaner which removes the stains from my stainless steel appliances easily without scrubbing too much. As you know, you get fingerprints easily on stainless steel, hence I want to keep my kitchen clean and shiny.

Happy new year everyone !!!! Hope you had enjoyed New year's Eve. In Midwest December is freezing month every year. But still people are excited to say bye to old year and welcoming new year with fun and celebration. Last year I was traveling to India so I missed the opportunity to experience how Chicago welcomes new year. So this time we decided to go to the Chicago. I heard lot about Navy Pier fireworks. So I wanted to see it. We went to Devon Ave directly and had yummy South Indian dinner in the Udupi Cafe. After dinner we head to the Navy Pier. There was plenty of traffic in downtown. Navy Pier parking was already full so we parked four blocks away and walk to the Navy Pier. You will see excitement in the crowd. There are bars, restaurants and pubs if you want to go. We preferred to take walk along the side of lake and enjoyed cold breeze.  Fireworks started exactly at midnight. Fireworks with the background of high rise buildings was l...
