It's that time of year! Christmas lights and displays abound! If you were one of few forward thinking individuals you hung your lights weeks ago when the weather in Denver was downright hot. Regularly in the mid 70's. But does decorating your home in weather more akin to Palm Beach break with tradition or the spirit of the Holiday Season? I believe so. There's something about hanging your lights on a blustery and bitter late fall weekend. Perhaps the inherent risk, and adrenaline rush, of slipping from my roof to the frozen tundra below is the reason I choose the worst possible weather conditions when taking a run at this wintry right of passage. I suppose climbing to high places and crawling across iced laden shingles and eaves is an actual self confirmation of my manhood. I need to look into this.
I noticed several Stapleton residents out taking advantage of the weather to deck their homes with Holiday Cheer on a recent weekend day. However, the majority of us were enjoying the newly opened Central Park. What a place!
I'm sure the Stapleton Neighborhood and it's hip new homes will rank right up there with any Denver area communities when it comes to outdoor Holiday displays. I encourage you to submit to this blog your favorite home or block. I will post the results.
In addition to the sparkling displays you'll find in the neighborhood the Symphony In Lights at Stapleton Northfield will take your breathe away. The dazzling 250,000 lights set to the music of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra is sure to get you in the Holiday mood (and maybe spend a few bucks in a wide array of fine stores in Northfield).
Get out and enjoy the lights and Holiday displays in the area. Stapleton has no shortage of them. This is a wonderful time of year and I wish you and your loved ones a happy and blessed Holiday season.
