Enjoying Christmas Lights

Merry Christmas! We are praying that you are enjoying the celebration of the birth of our Lord and Savior!

Last week, although we had biked all around the community a couple of weeks ago looking at the Christmas decorations, we decided to bike through again because (1) some more people have come and decorated and (2) now we knew which lots and blocks were determined to be the winners, so we wanted to look at those.

Heading off on the bike -- we decided to start on the far side of the park and work our way back to our area.

The decorations in front of the Community Center

One of the holiday lights contest winners...

... this was the first place corner lot!

The entrance area to the community -- from the inside looking out...

This is a picture taken a couple of years ago by the community of the lights at the entrance - from the outside looking in!

Another corner lot house (I don't remember if this was one of the winners or not!).

This one was designated as the "Daytime Lot" first place winner, but they are pretty lit up for nighttime too!

This was *our* favorite block of lights - but they did not win this year. If someone wins in a year, they cannot win for the next two years -- so we're guessing that this block may have won in one of the previous two years and they weren't eligible to win this year.

We were grateful to be able to enjoy Christmas lights without having to go driving outside the park after dark!
