The Story Behind a Beloved Los Feliz Christmas Display
Jöel Perez’s annual holiday display is a feast for the eyes, but there’s more to it than just sparkles, feathers, and lights
On Black Friday, my little L.A. neighborhood had a big night: our neighbor, Joël Perez, lit his 2020 Christmas window display. Perez’s window is always a spectacle, but this year, in the midst of a pandemic that has confined us to our homes, it felt like an event. Neighbors masked up, socialized from a distance, and basked in the glow of a sparkly, rotating Christmas tree and dancing disco lights.
