    Lighted reindeer

    Photo: What monster house?

    It sort of puts monster houses in perspective to look at the huge and wonderful reindeer in front of the house at 310 Tait Ave. in Los Gatos. Now in its third year, this local version of Rudolph was created by homeowners Yvonne and Bobby Baert of a wooden frame wrapped with chicken wire and covered in burlap. Rudolph is aglow with some 4,000 white lights and sparkling red rein, bow and nose. While Tait Avenue is sparkling as usual during the holiday season, it's hard to deny Rudolph is a real scene stealer.
