Home of the Week: Colonial Charm in West Pasadena’s San Rafael Area
It’s time for all those incredible lights again. The Enchanted Forest of Light at Descanso Gardens has opened for this year’s holiday season, turning the grounds into a mesmerizing display of light and sounds.
Guests stroll on the usual botanical garden paths through the lighting installations —a walk that can take from an hour to 90 minutes—through a dazzling swirl of lights, colors, and ambient music, transforming the already impressive gardens into dramatic, and mystical, botanical artscapes.
This year’s installations include the return of the magical “stained glass” houses by sculptor Tom Fruin; a set of sparkling geometric installations from HYBYCOZO; the “Flower Power” light display on the Promenade; and dramatic lighting effects in the Ancient Forest.
“I’m here every year like clockwork,” said Ellen Tanaka, visiting from San Diego. “It’s my favorite one of these displays.”
The Enchanted Forest of Light at Decanso Gardens is now open from 5:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. every day except Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, through January 5.
Descanso Gardens is located at 1418 Descanso Dr., La Cañada Flintridge….

“Red One,” a Christmas-themed action comedy starring The Rock, grossed $34 million this weekend to lead all films in North America, according to industry estimates released Sunday.
It was a disappointing total for a film whose budget reportedly was well north of $200 million. The Amazon MGM Studios release also stars Chris Evans and features J.K. Simmons, Lucy Liu and Kiernan Shipka.
“Venom: The Last Dance,” which spent its first three weeks atop the domestic box office chart, slipped to second place with $7.3 million, Comscore reported.
“The Best Christmas Pageant Ever” was third with $5.4 million Friday through Sunday at theaters in the United States and Canada.
The Hugh Grant-starring horror film “Heretic” was fourth with $5.1 million in its second weekend, followed by “The Wild Robot” with $4.3 million in its eighth weekend.
Rounding out the top 10 domestic releases were “Smile 2” ($2.9 million), “Conclave” ($2.8 million), “Hello, Love, Again” ($2.32 million), “A Real Pain” ($2.3 million) and “Anora” ($1.8 million).
This weekend’s overall three-day box office haul was estimated at $73.6 million. The year-to-date total is $7.079 billion — down 11.1% from the figure at this time last year, according to Comscore.
