December 25, 1999 -- DOVE ST NECK-WORKING
We have had many firsts during our 9th season of lights: Frosty the Snowman on a Harley-Davidson, one way streets confusing everyone, all houses lit from ocean to lagoon, & a local taxi becomes mobile light display.
CHRISTMAS CAROLING
On December 21 over 70 visitors joined us in a sing-along led by Gene Murrell (Lawn Jockeys) & his acoustic guitar. Tide Pointe residents driving by elected to stop & join us. Braving the unscraped roadway, they had a fun time. One sweet lady asked "Do you mind if I keep the song sheet? I've had such fun; I'd like to keep it as a reminder".
An encore performance was held on Christmas eve garnering enthusiastic reviews from hundreds of families with children & babies passing by.
SEEN ON THE STREET
A man & his wife donating several cans of food remarked "This is the street with the "electric" moss".
Families taking holiday photos with Frosty on the cycle.
Squirrels gnawing light strings in the trees & harvesting bulbs as acorns. It seems to help when we leave the lights on 24 hours a day.
Generosity continues to increase dramatically in spite of our new policy to only accept checks, food, & gifts.
