Singing & Cookie Exchange & Lights

Remember that tomorrow evening our neighborhood will be getting festive by doing two events:

1. Caroling on a Flat Bed: Show up at 10267 Croydon Way and we'll hop on a rented flat bed truck (with gates and hay) in order to be drive around the neighborhood while caroling. This is for any age. We have song packets as provided by Ann & Holly. Make sure to bring a flashlight to see the songs and please dress extra warm (gloves might be a good idea too). We are hoping that it does not rain. We will cross that bridge if it comes. We will be leaving to carol at 5:30pm, so please show up between 5:00-5:30pm at 10267 Croydon. If you want to decorate the truck too, come earlier in the day and add anything festive and non-permanent (signs, wreaths, ornaments, be creative). This is an image of what our truck will look like per the rental company website as well as a photo of the stack of carols:


2. Cookie Exchange: From 7-9pm after the caroling, we will head over to 3034 Ramsgate Way for a Cookie Exchange. If you are able, please bring some holiday treats to share. Let's enjoy a party, cookies, and of course hot chocolate.

If you have any questions, please let us know. We think this is a great way to celebrate as a neighborhood and we are very excited. If it goes well this year, we can do it again next year.

Lights: Also, there are houses starting to pop up all over the neighborhood with Christmas lights, manger scenes, and other decorations. Let's keep the decorations coming and maybe someone in the neighborhood can even take photos of stellar houses or give out awards (if that is up your alley let us know. We'll provide the awards and supplies, you pick out the houses and take photos).

NOTE: A resident said that Santa used to come around in a fire truck, but that she had not seen that recently. Anyone want to call the Fire Department and see if they are doing that or if they would consider coming by at some point in December?
