Friendly Christmas Lights Competition [PHOTOS]

Like clockwork...my neighborhood becomes a lot more festive-looking, right after Thanksgiving weekend!

That's when Christmas lights start popping up across New Jersey...and two of my neighbors take this holiday tradition to a whole new level!

(If you missed last weekend's "set-up" photos, click here!)

"FedEX Pat" and "Cornershow Bob"...the guys with all the lights! (Craig Allen photo)

"Cornershow Bob" and "FedEX Pat" light up the night sky...and the cars drive by.

"Cornershow Bob" keeps adding to his display, right up to December 25th...

"FedEx Pat" strings up the lights the weekend after Turkey Day...and that is it. No changes...no additions.

FedEX Pat's house...with the star on the roof! You saw the star in the set-up article last Sunday. (Craig Allen photo)

And, lets not forget the jolly guy in the red suit (no, NOT Big Joe!)...

It's "Ho-Ho-Ho!" (Craig Allen photo)

The snowman is new this year...but does he sing like Burl Ives? (Craig Allen photo)

And, here's the "shooting star!"

Meanwhile, down the street...

Each Christmas season, "FedEX Pat" and "Cornershow Bob" put JOY...the holiday spirit...on display!

Their "friendly competition" is something our whole neighborhood looks forward to each year!
