in addition to the food and wine bars/tap rooms there are gorgeous furniture shops, the best dog groomers (trim) and a super friendly ups shop. los gatos during the holidays is so festive, the entire town gets dressed up with lights and there is a lot of cheer in the air. touring the christmas lights at the park can be an annual tradition.
