An Italian Christmas donkey and Rudolph at Christmas on Cleveland in Wilmette

Wilmette resident Steve Maris has outfitted his home at the corner of Cleveland and Thornwood with an array of Christmas figures and more than 50,000 lights computer-controlled by more than 300 separate channels. Maris puts on the show, in part, for the benefit of Lurie Children's Hospital, and to the delight of all who experience it.

The show runs from 4 to 9 on week nights and until 10 on weekends, weather permitting, until New Year's.

Repeat visits are encouraged, since different songs will play on different nights. You can see an earlier visit at:
