Christmas cards for Lake Villa, Lindenhurst & Old Mill Creek.
From Cedar Avenue to the neighborhoods around Cedar Lake and Deep Lake, Lake Villa and Lindenhurst families get custom Christmas cards designed around their own photos and style, not a template.
The same goes for Old Mill Creek's open country: if your card photo was taken in a snowy field or on the farm, the design can lean into that.
Lake Villa's lighted Holiday Parade steps off from Palombi Middle School in late November and heads down Cedar Avenue to Lehmann Park for the tree lighting and a visit with Santa in the park pavilion.
Next door, the Lindenhurst Park District hosts its own holiday tree lighting and Santa meet-and-greet in early December.
