For the last 31 years, every Thanksgiving at 6 p.m. sharp, with Kate Smith’s God Bless America resonating loudly through the speakers, 50,000 light bulbs blaze on and bring to life hundreds of Christmas decorations covering Bruce Mertz’s house and front yard in Concord, CA. And so begins another Christmas season. This is a touching portrait of the man everyone calls Mr. Christmas. Juan Baquero
