December? You could catch a Cardinals game or a Suns game.
Phoenix in the winter is alright actually. It'll be about 65-70F. But it's a brain dead city with horrible urban planning, which leads to urban sprawl, an insane amount of walmarts, parking lots, strip mall after strip mall, lack of culture, lack of art, lack of intermingling of people, lack of a community feeling.
In Glendale, all people do is go to Arrowhead Mall and the movie theatres. Although there are some holiday festivities going on in downtown Glendale around that time (Glendale Glitters), and areas where you can view some amazingly lit mansions.
Take a drive down Bell Road (ugly 8 lane road), that is where most of the stuff happens.
Jobing.com arena for concerts.
This is pretty much the "epicenter" of Glendale (revolves around the Mall), even though it's not Downtown Glendale:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&…Overall, Glendale is probably one of the worst places of the entire Valley area. Go to Old Town Scottsdale for some decent restaurants and nightlife. If you're looking for the college nightlife, go to downtown Tempe where ASU is. Tempe is a little more artsy and fun.
