As we get ready to celebrate Thanksgiving, Christmas decorations are already popping up across the valley.
On a stretch of Van Ness Avenue in Fresno, homeowners are hard at work turning it into Christmas Tree Lane.
KSEE 24's Jack Highberger has more on their early preparations.
It's not even Thanksgiving yet but as you can see on Van Ness Avenue, it is already starting to look a lot like Christmas.
"I'm setting up Christmas decorations for Christmas tree lane."
If you didn't know better you might think Christmas was right around the corner. But when the street you live on is better known as Christmas Tree Lane, the traditional timeline doesn't apply.
"We actually start out in September," says Dean Alexander, a volunteer coordinator at Christmas Tree Lane.
Alexander hopes to flip the switch on the valley tradition by December 3rd. This year over one hundred homes are taking part, marking the 91st year homes along Van Ness have transformed into a holiday spectacle.
"It's a grand event, very magical. It is all home grown," says Alexander.
For the past eighteen years homeowner Tom Hyatt has pulled out all the stops climbing to new heights in search of Christmas cheer.
"It is one of the most enjoyable traditions that we have. We really look forward to this every year," says Hyatt.
And he was far from alone. A few homes down, Bree Comstock and her kids set up reindeer, counting down the days until Christmas Tree Lane opens once more.
"You know it is really fantastic place to live and be," says Comstock.
Now the plan is that by December rolls around all the decorations will be in place.
