In Costa Mesa this holiday season, the doghouse has been the place to be.
Families have been visiting the city’s beloved Snoopy House, a display of characters from the storied cartoon strip that has been part of the city’s holiday celebrations for decades.
Along with the festive tableau, there has been entertainment and writing letters to Santa Claus, who makes an appearance to check in and take photos.
The nightly events wrap up Dec. 19 at City Hall.
