How many people in the Inland Empire know about this little place called Manning Street in Yucaipa? During the Holiday Season Manning Street Yucaipa transforms into the epicenter of the Christmas Spirit through collaboration between neighbors, friends, and family a combination of wires, lights, and household electrical bills into one spectacular light show. Simply put, if you have children you have to see it at least one time this season. Over the last few years my wife and I have watched it grow and it always amazes me in the coordination it takes between neighbors to pull such a light show off. It really is a visual event and a must see. It's a great place to just park the car, get your family out and walk the neighborhood sharing the Christmas Spirit with others. After all sharing is caring!
A little food for thought on Interesting facts about Christmas lights.... The tradition of Christmas lights was used as a visual message to welcome other Christians to come together and celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ as one. Christmas lights date back to the 17th century and originated in Germany before spreading to Eastern Europe. The display of candles were visual and it was purposely displayed in front of a window for other members of the Christian faith to see. In 1880, The first official outdoor Christmas display that was separated from decorating a Christmas tree was shared to the world by Thomas Edison at his laboratory compound adjacent to a busy railroad where thousand of passengers would pass by.

By the 1890's, the string of lights was in mass production and located in department stores not just displaying Christmas themes but sold to the public on the free market as production costs decreased creating surplus of supply dropping the price of string lights to an affordable price so all can afford to enjoy and display their celebration of Christmas and the birth - the life through Jesus Christ.
