The joy that generations of people can find in a festive event, specifically a long-running tradition that is a gift to the community, no ticket or payment required?
You might say that such a nice notion possesses the pretty sparkle of a thousand bulbs, the little lovely lights that line a rooftop, tree branch, or porch railing.
Locating these lights, and this free tradition, is as easy as making your way to Heritage Hill Historical Park in Lake Forest over two delightful December weekends.

The special seasonal celebrations, presented by OC Parks, are back; the 38th Annual Candlelight Walk flickers from Dec. 6 through 8 while Holiday Lights will shine on Dec. 13, 14, and 15.
Savoring the sparkle is one element to these evenings, as is the opportunity to take family photos in festively dressed corners of the picturesque park.
The Candlelight Walks will feature carolers, craft-making spots, and places to purchase snacks, while the Holiday Lights will not have "additional entertainment or refreshments," do note. Dogs on leashes are welcome at Holiday Lights.
"We are excited to show our holiday spirit and gather for another year of family-friendly activities at Candlelight Walk and Holiday Lights at Heritage Hil Historical Park," said Chairman Donald P. Wagner, Orange County Board of Supervisors.
