Christmas is over.
Our annual display of lights and decorations is not.
Long Lots Road
Traditionally, residents leave their displays up past New Year’s. Many remain through the 12th day of Christmas (January 5th), and then the Epiphany (Three Kings Day, January 6).
Buena Vista Drive
Most come down soon thereafter. I’ve seen wreaths remain beyond Memorial Day, for better or worse.
Meeker Road
So the good news is: There is still lots of time to enjoy the hard work that homeowners (or their hired hands) have put in to delight, inspire, sometimes amuse and occasionally even awe us.
Richmondville Avenue
The better news is: Westport is filled with holiday decorations. On and around houses from the 1700s, and those built year; from Compo Beach to Sturges Highway, and Bulkley Avenue to Kings Highway, our nights are brighter, thanks to our neighbors.
Dogwood Lane
Andrew Colabella took his camera (and his energy) all around town this week. Here are just a few of the scenes he photographed.
Happy Three Kings Day!
