Rossmoor Christmas Lights Celebration - 10 Years & Counting

It's hard to believe our Christmas Lights Celebration has been going on for 10 years now. And there have been some amazing entries and creative setups. The Rossmoor Christmas Lights Celebration is an annual tradition. And the tradition continues to grow and form new memories. Which homes and decorations will you remember from this year?

With the Rossmoor Winter Festival on Friday, the Lights Celebration Tour Map needs to be set very, very soon. Please make sure to register your home tonight (or sooner) so we can include you on the route and in the judging.

The Christmas Lights Celebration Team can use some help with is the descriptive writing about the homes:

Calling All Fun Writers
Chris and the Celebration Team are looking for a few residents to help us with the Christmas Lights Celebration home descriptions. The wonderful entries we receive usually need some words, a story, to bring them to life for the tour and passersby. This is fun writing where you get to tell the story of the scene. If you are a "fun writer" please reply to this email or reach out to Chris and let us know you are interested.

Be a part of the Celebration!


Will your home be included on this year's Celebration Map? Only one way to join in the fun and get recognized for all your decoration efforts - Let us know about it! More details here and below. Enter your home tonight!


 

Rossmoor Christmas Lights Celebration

Remember the Rossmoor homes that had Santa’s sleigh and reindeer flying over the street from one house to another?  Or the huge 15’ lighted Christmas tree that you could see across Rush Park?  Remember the luminaries that somehow stayed lit at the entrance of Rossmoor Way, or large palm trees on the corner that were wrapped with lights to the top?  Those were all great memories driving around during Christmas past in Rossmoor.


In 2007 we started to honor the homes that take the time to create these wonderful memories for all to share. The Rossmoor Christmas Lights Celebration has become an annual tradition. And the tradition continues to grow and form new memories.  Which homes and decorations will you remember from this year?


The Christmas Elves begin to descend upon Rossmoor shortly after Thanksgiving and leave a Winter Wonderland for all of us to enjoy (even though they keep forgetting the snow). So, keep your eye out for the more than 30 homes that jump in each year all over the Rossmoor Neighborhood.
