ok, i am a native or arizona. i went to asu and all my fondest memories are of arizona. i agree with the lack of culture/lack of community feeling that a lot of people experience in phoenix. however, there is a really great underground music and art scene in downtown phoenix, which has been magnified by the new light rail. the first friday artwalk in downtown phoenix is pretty fucking good in my opinion. also, there are a lot of design/tech people building communities in the area. check out gangplank, phx design week and other such organizations that are trying to support the creative class in AZ.
in terms of things to do in December, i can't really think of anything off the top of my head. however, rest assured if you look for it in phoenix i am sure you will find something to do. that's the thing about phoenix, everyone moved here in such a rush that it didn't allow for the feeling of history and culture. its hard to really care about a place when you just moved there for cheap living and good weather. also, arizona isn't even 100 years old yet as state...it takes time to grow culture folks! as much as people bitch about phoenix, realize this: its 1.5 million and there is always something to do in such a large sprawling city. you could hang out in fucking idaho for fucks sake.
i don't care what anyone says, phoenix is my home and i love it.
