It looks like we are done with the rain for at last a while. Good thing too because now is the time to get your holiday decorations up for the wonderful season we have ahead of us. And it will be topped off by the end of a decade in just over three weeks. Wow, a brand new decade. How fun is that?

Rossmoor has some very special events coming up as well. First, this Friday we have the Rossmoor Winter Festival that kicks off at 6:00 p.m. at Rush Park, with the tree lighting at 7:00 p.m and fun, choirs, music, food trucks, SNOW (yes, real snow here in Rossmoor) and of course Santa will be there for free photos as well. Come in and join the fun this Friday (12/13).

We are still collecting entries for our Rossmoor Christmas Lights Celebration - see the article below for details or just go here and sign up your house. The Winter Festival's Trolley will tour by many of the homes who sign up. Share your joy and the season with your friends and neighbors. 

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 13^th 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.
