Rossmoor Christmas Lights Celebration

From the judges perspective this 10th Anniversary Our
 Christmas Lights Celebration was by far the
most festive and fun. 


Why you might ask, well, the mode of transportation was a big 45 foot long decorated bus.  We ordered a smaller scale to be slightly obnoxious, but this monster of an orange beast showed up, making the Christmas Lights judging tour even more entertaining, and commanded a conspicuous presence.  Yes we are pulling in front of your wonderful house.  Yes we are checking out your lights.  Thank you for decorating, and You Made the Map!

 

At several locations, we were blatantly bribed, and it worked!  The passing of the Bailey’s shot glasses, and throwing candy canes through the windows were definitely influential and encouraged in years to come.


First Timers:  Every year we have rookie families entering their home in the celebration, and this year, every rookie made the map – first time ever.


After ten years we are so grateful for the following families for participating and decorating their homes to the extreme each of the ten years.  Major thanks to Jim & Patti Harris of Burney Place (actually to everyone in the cul-de-sac) with 100% participation again.  To Rich & Kay Butterfield of Salmon Drive – so much love and care go into their efforts.  To Lynnette & Tim O’Bryan, who have created multiple award winning displays.  Lynnette has also been a huge support, taking Christmas Lights photos in both dry and raining conditions for us.  To Jon & Vicki Hermstad, who started the arched driveways, and didn’t want any credit, just wanted to make people smile.  And to Randy & Maria Leavenworth, who designed and started the Rossmoor Holiday Light Post tradition on St. Albans, only to see it blossom to over 400 Rossmoor homes standing proud in our front lawns.


Now time for the Recognition Award Winners, followed by the homes we deemed as Honorable and worth Mentioning.  These are all the ones that made the Rossmoor Christmas Lights Hot Spots Map!
