The residential part of the island is about 6 streets wide and maybe a mile long and it took us over an hour and a half to drive and enjoy the lighting displays. This neighborhood definitely feels more is better.
Nascar Santa and Motorcyle Santa were our favorites! It takes quite an imagination to develop Christmas decor to appeal to some buyers!
Lit signs and illuminated gifts were at a few houses.
This house won the "most" prize in our judgement. Even the 2nd floor deck on the back of the house was well decorated with blue lights.
I liked this Santa, a simple flat display, well lit with the shadow on the house. In the window you can just note a colorful Santa face.
One of the apartments had some reindeer and a projected image of Frosty right by the clotheslines.
Small houses were among the ones most covered.
This one is a Light Bright winner with two Frosty the Snowmen in the attic windows.
We saw only three creches.
I call this one dueling duplex. One side was into decorating and the other ran one strand of lights on the porch and had window lamps.

One of many well decorated....or decorated well...you judge.
These two are not traditional. One was actually out of focus but I think it makes a great artsy shot. The other, the Christmas goose, was not lit at all, but caught my eye as we drove by and deserved attention.
Some houses were monochromatic....
I guess these people are having a blue Christmas.
I guess these people are having a blue Christmas.Others were multi-colored but glowed darkly. I liked the way the siding reflected these lights
Candy canes were quite in vogue in many places on the island also.
Santa sleighs come in many kinds of construction now....the classic lights on metal frames and newer inflatables.
With many of these houses being quite small, the inflatables make sense for off-season storage!
