Calling all Rossmoor Christmas lights decorators: here’s to you, the Crazies!
It was a late Thanksgiving – no problem – you can do this. The rains have subsided – great! Softening the ground, making yard decorations easier to secure. Roofs and gutters have been cleared of debris, making for a clean surface to overhang colored lights! Time committed to build that lighted, sliding
penguin display – OK maybe that one can wait until next year.
The Christmas season is upon us, and we are heading into our 13th season of the RHA Rossmoor Christmas Lights Celebration. Is it me? Or are you observing this too? Seems like many homes in our hood have already started on the Santa decorations even before Thanksgiving, and I’ve seen multiple postings on
Nextdoor, asking for Christmas Lights decorating services. The holiday spirit is already in the air and what a great start!
Just like years gone by, Chris Marshall and Kieran Nolan co-chair the event, and certainly open to new, colorful suggestions!!! Here are the key dates, and please reach out with any questions, especially looking for first time home entries for the Rookie-of-the Year
award.
- Friday, November 29: Day after Thanksgiving. Start hanging your lights and unpack lawn decorations. Go to In-and-Out burger for lunch or have mid-day leftovers
- Friday, December 13: RCSD Winter Festival Trolley ride touring parts of Rossmoor’s decorated Christmas homes and streets
- Sunday, December 15: Judges travel around that evening, checking out the registered home entries and determine the recognition awards and homes to be included in the Rossmoor Hot Spots Map
- Tuesday, December 17: Recognition Awards and Christmas Lights Hot Spots announced on Our Rossmoor website, and Hot Spots Map is available for downloading.
Registering your home for the Rossmoor Christmas Lights Celebration continues to be easy and free. To participate and earn a spot on the Rossmoor Christmas Hot Spots Map, register via the Our Rossmoor website. We’ll need your name, address, phone number (in case we need to send our photographer to your house), and email.
Thanks and let's make this year a celebration to remember!
Sweeper Monday
And it's the first Monday in December and you know what that means. Yes, it's Sweeper Monday. Please move your vehicles and trashcans out of the street so they can be easily swept.
