Lighting up LW’s holiday nights!
While 2020 may go down in history as the most challenging year of the early 21st Century, Leisure World residents refuse to let tradition suffer. They are well-known for their exuberant displays of holiday cheer, and this year, they’re finding creative ways to carry on in the spirit of Christmas. Halls are decked, wreaths are hung, and lights are strung. It’s time to get out and meet the season.
Each week until Christmas, LW Weekly will run a list of notable decorations. Residents are encouraged to send an address and brief description of their holiday displays to pattym@lwsb.com, or slip a note through the mail slot of the office, located near the Amphitheater. High-resolution jpgs are also being accepted for possible inclusion in the annual holiday lights feature scheduled for Dec. 24.
