The Light Are On & Waiting for Santa

~ The Lights are On & Waiting for Santa ~

I love my neighbors and my neighborhood.  Many of my neighbors show their Christmas spirit by decorating their homes.  I live in the Highland Pointe subdivision (Trailridge) in Centennial, Colorado just minutes from Southlands Mall.  I have chosen 3 of my favorites to share with you.  They decorate every year and they change it up every year.  We never know what to expect, but are all happily surprised when the task is completed.  Enjoy the photos.

Brian $ Anne

This is Brian and Anne's house.  Every year they put a new message on their roof.  We always wait in anticipation, wondering what it will be.  Last year they wrote "Nice  Naughty"  with an arrow pointing straight down to their house under 'Nice' and an arrow pointing to the neighbor's house under the work Naughty.  What was so clever was the neighbors all got involved.  Each of the neighbors then, put an arrow in their window and pointed it to the next neighbor.  I think, this went on for 5 or 6 houses.

 

Conrad & Sandy

This is Conrad and Sandy's home.  Sandy uses rock climbing gear to put up the decorations.  Their home is always sharp and clean and crisp looking.  They also decorate their backyard as well.  They back to the walking path and the creek/ open space.

 

corner

I have only spoken to these folks once.  I do know that the husband does not decorate until after his son's birthday which apparently is in the beginning part of December.  They live on the corner of the entrance to our subdivision.    He puts up lights along his entire fence line, which makes for a nice entrance into our quaint little subdivision.

So did you have a favorite?  This subdivison and many other subdivisions in the Aurora/Centennial areas have fantastic neighborhoods.  Let me help you find the right place for you while the interest rates are still low.  You know, the rates won't stay low for ever.  Call me today for an appointment to talk about your real estate needs and the current market conitions where you live..

Pat ~  now that is a neighbor with a great sense of humor!  I love when people get into the spirit.

Michelle ~ every year they write something new.  One year they had "Santa Stop Here", another year they had, "Ho, Ho, Ho"  I think that year they ran out of ideas.  It's fun to find out from year to year.

Marc ~  I think so too.  That's why I had to share them with all my friends here on AR.

 

Merry Christmas everyone

Coal Again is my favorite!  We live in a farily competitive neighborhood, and I am ON my husband all the time about the lights...it's tough having that competitive gene!

P.S. Heading to Denver, then driving to Breck on the 24th at 7:00 a.m.; keep me posted on the weather/snow accumulation!

Hi Dawn - How fun!  The one with the message is my favorite. I thought Coal Again?! was pretty funny until I read about the Nice and Naughty message, and all the neighbors' participation - really a fun holiday spirit. Enjoy!

I can't imagine how long it would take to actually spell that out on the house, that is some dedication!  Great pictures Dawn!

Thank you all for your comments.  I have to say that these 3 houses stand out above the rest.  One of these days I am going to ask Brian how long it takes him to actually write out the message on the roof.  Last year was so fun when all of his neighbors participated in the message.

Carla ~ I wish I still had the picture from last year.  I'll look for it.

Susan ~ I've done that also, since I was a kid.  My aunt lived in Chicago and she would scope out the good ones and after dinner we would go out and look at them.
