Friendly Christmas Lights Competition Unveiled!
My neighborhood looks forward to this night, every year! The BIG UNVEIL!
For the past few years, my neighbors "FedEX Pat" and "Cornershow Bob" (and their wives) have put up "dueling" Christmas Lights displays.
(check out my article from earlier this afternoon, with "last-minute preparation" pictures, by clicking HERE.)
As you can see above, their homes are in view of each other...
This is known as a "friendly competition," because it is...as the guys usually meet and talk up their ideas, over a frosty "adult beverage," before it all gets underway!
Well...they talk about almost everything...
This year, FedEX Pat's roof is lit in HUNDREDS of white lights...and can practically be seen from outer space!
Down the street...on the corner...
...the PSE&G electric meter at "Cornershow Bob's" place is spinning...wildly (too)!
The house, and all the trees are...ablaze...
...but...where is Bob?
I can only hope that Bob, and Ginni, are enjoying nice warm meal...inside...as I come by with my camera!
Since the ladder is up..there must still be something to come. It may even be up by the time that I am feverishly writing this photo article...BUT, I have a schedule, too...and the internet, and the radio station wait for no one. Not even me!
Mrs. Cornershow promised me that something REALLY BIG...would appear at the last minute tonight...
MY "last minute" just comes a bit sooner...so...STAY TUNED...there's MORE TO COME!
In the meantime...
FedEX Pat is DONE...and as you can see, he is celebrating!
Guys..."May the POWER be with you." PSE&G power. Always!
We, your neighbors....(and, you, my New Jersey 101.5 listeners, and nj1015.com readers) are the ones that benefit!
"SEASONS GREETINGS," as FedEX Pat's yard sign says...
...and feel the JOY!
Merry Christmas to one and all!
