Warmest Greetings of the Season to You My Beautiful Wonderful Bay Area… We have so many wonderful neighborhoods all around us… the little island jewel called Alameda… has a little tree lined street called Thompson Avenue that maintains a holiday tradition which began 70 years ago… its come to be known as “Christmas Tree Lane” at holiday time… Every year the 55 homes that make up the 3200 block of  Thompson Avenue becomes a magical holiday showplace… all of the homeowners work to decorate their own homes and work together to decorate the center island… for two weeks before Christmas the residents volunteer to become elves to entertain the children who come to visit Santa in his sleigh…

 There is a special Santa Mailbox where letters can be dropped off for Santa…all letters with legible return addresses are answered and returned to the children who left them in Santa’s Mailbox…                                                                                                 

Its a cherished tradition filled with wonderful memories and known by many all around. Each year many come back to visit along with new visitors who are enchanted by all of the decorations and holiday spirit of  Thompson Avenue… If you have a chance to visit… I’m sure you’ll make it part of your holiday tradition every year after!
