The Longfellow Lights Committee gathered Friday evening to put the finishing touches our awards and head out into our neighborhood to determine this year's quality light displays.
|
All members of the committee were filled with cheer including the canines in the party. |
We took judging very seriously. Considering all decisions with equal weight.
|
Our first award, a snowman, immediately fell apart and an air of disappointment filled the crisp winter air. |
|
Fortunately, the judges took the collapsed award in stride and the evening proved to be a success. |
Highlights included:
- a police officer playing holiday music from his loud speaker so we could enjoy a coordinated music/light three house display
- presenting an award to a homeowner in person. She was frightened, then overcome with holiday gratitude.
- an on-looker directing us toward a miracle on 34th street. (see video included above).

The evening closed with food and spirits at our favorite local pub,
Merlin's. We all agreed that Longfellow Lights Committee is a new
holiday tradition. |
On my run Saturday morning, I eagerly returned to the scene of the holiday crimes and found that even the fallen snowman remained displayed in its festive glory.
This is by far the cutest thing I have ever seen. Amazing.
