2:29Now PlayingOn St. Louis' south side, residents say they've adorned their neighborhood with thousands of Christmas lights for more than two decades. The street, affectionately known as Candy Cane Lane, comes alive each year right before the holiday season. Neighbors wrap trees lining the block in red and white, to resemble candy canes, they fill their yards with blow up characters, and erect tunnels made completely of sparkly lights.
Organizers say they do it, not just to spread holiday cheer, but also to raise money. Each year those who participate have the option to collect donations for their chosen charity from visitors. Over the years, they estimate they've been able to raise well over $200,000.
PBS News' Gabrielle Hays takes us on a trip down Candy Cane Lane.
