Each year in the island there is a contest related to home and business holiday lights. Lots of people here enjoy lighting up property of all kinds for the Christmas season.
On Friday the judging was held so we were sure that that evening everyone would be sure to have their lights plugged in for a good ride around town. There were categories such as Best Theme, Most Lights, Most Traditional, Most Original, and Best Business. The Ocracoke Business and Civic Association sponsored the contest.
During most year there are lots of events around the community during December, but, this year is very quiet. There is no live music, no special dinners, no parties. COVID carefulness has put the lid on all kinds of gatherings. The island community care has paid off in that we have stayed very safe here as a result of masks and distancing. It is a Christmas present to everyone!
Instead of gatherings, we ride around and look at the lights! And...it is fun.
