Friendly Christmas Lights Competition 2016
The annual "Friendly Neighborhood Christmas Lights Competition" is on...I think.For those of you who may be new....
I have been writing about my neighbors, "FedEX Pat" and "Cornershow Bob," and their displays for the last few years, here at nj1015.com.My whole neighborhood looks forward to this holiday lights spectacular every year!
And, we aren't the only ones!
Once it's done, cars come from miles around!
With the guys at a Christmas Party last year...Bob on the left, Pat on the right (Craig Allen photo archives).
The two guys have very different philosophies about their displays.
"FedEx Pat (and Jen) put up the whole "show" during this long Thanksgiving weekend. On Sunday night, it's done.
On the other hand, "Cornershow Bob" (and Ginni) gets started this weekend....and Bob just keeps adding, right up to Christmas Day!
OK...I see icicles hanging from the top roof...more? (Craig Allen photo).
So, I say....I think it's on....
Rudolph looks...deflated (Craig Allen photo).
Because as of 1:00 this afternoon....neither Bob nor Pat could be seen working on their 2016 extravaganzas!
Seriously....it's over 50 degrees....and not raining. Major pluses in the holiday light-stringing trade!
Both guys must be in their "secret workshops."
We need more of THIS...NOW. (Craig Allen photo).
I'm thinking that tomorrow and Sunday are going to be....crazy!
Stay TUNED!
