Hi

Is it just us, or does it seem like already multiple homeowners in Rossmoor have a head start with their Christmas lights displays?

We’ve already seen red and green rope lights, sparkling decorated trees, perfectly symmetrical roof-lined colored lights, and there were even reports of Christmas inflatables glowing on front lawns at several locations.  Wow – what a great sign that people are chomping at the bit for Santa and the Christmas season to arrive.

Rossmoor's 16th Annual Christmas Lights Celebration
OK, it’s time to jump aboard Santa’s sleigh here in Rossmoor for the 16th annual RHA Rossmoor Christmas Lights Celebration!!!

Here’s a key evening date to remember and mark on the calendar:  Saturday, December 17 - That's when the judges will be out to discover the most spirited houses and blocks in Rossmoor

Throughout the 16 years, we’ve created new and fun elements to the Christmas Lights Celebration event – things like the Rossmoor Holiday Light Post, Most Festive Street Award, Christmas Lights Bicycle Parade, and of course a box of See’s chocolate candies to the Recognition Award and Honorable Mention winning homes.

This year, we are super excited to announce, “Family Judging Day!” Typically, in mid-December, we have a caravan of judges composed of kids and adult drivers venturing to every entered home on the preliminary map and having a hoot of a good time.

This year, all families are encouraged to hop in their cars (or bikes) and hit the streets to determine their favorite decorated Rossmoor homes and enter them for a Christmas Lights Recognition Award.

Families get to create their own Award names for each house (e.g. Griswold Award, Winter Wonderland, Silent Night, Santa’s Workshop, Christmas Spirit) whatever silly or fun mood you feel when gazing at the house. 

Chris Marshall and Kieran Nolan co-chair the event, and will release more details and access to the preliminary Christmas Lights map on our website. closer to 12/17. Award suggestions can only be submitted on 12/17 and 12/18. 

We’re excited to have more people in the Rossmoor community involved with the Christmas Lights Celebration.

For all the decorating Rossmoor homeowners (you know who you are!), now there are even more reasons to hop on that roof, find those lighted candy canes, get a few more extension cords and enter your home before December 17 for the 2022 Rossmoor Christmas Lights Celebration!

To enter: Nominate your home (or a neighbor’s home) click here and complete the nomination form. There’s no limit to how many homes you can nominate. The more you nominate the better chance you have to win one of the $50 gift cards (details on the entry page).

All nominations need to be submitted before 10:00 PM on Friday, December 16, so they can be included on the judging map.
