I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving, and that you were able to enjoy it with those who are dearest to you. At our house as we finished our turkey dinner, we each shared the things that we were thankful for this past year, and we found that near the top of most everybody’s list was ‘each other’. As we now officially move into the holiday season, however you are accustomed to celebrating in your particular tradition, let’s not forget to always be grateful for our family, friends, colleagues, and neighbors,…and to take advantage of every opportunity to do what we can to help make their lives a little bit brighter and merrier.
Here in Forest Estates, this time of year lends itself to doing precisely that. Each year, we hold a Holiday Lights Contest, where four of the most festively lit homes will be selected and awarded a cash prize of $25 each. The judging, done by the Forest Estates HOA Board members, will occur on the weekend of Dec 14 & 15, and the winners will be announced the following week. (Please note that last year’s winners are not eligible to be chosen this year)
While most homeowners will probably not be motivated to participate solely based on the dollar amount of the prize (though it might be useful in offsetting next month’s PSE bill), I hope that your choosing to participate will primarily be about bringing a sense of joy and happiness to others: your family, friends, neighbors, and all those you might entertain throughout this holiday season.
Happy Holidays!
