Since I’ve decided to dive head first into my first real Christmas since I was about 10 years old, I’ve once again discovered a long buried love for outdoor holiday lights.  I’m not planning on hanging any in the near (or distant) future, but I love driving around and looking at how people have tricked out their homes for the holidays.

I’ve also had this gift card from First Street Coffee for a couple of months now.  I don’t know how much it’s worth (probably $5 or $10) as it was a birthday present and I don’t drink coffee, so have no use for it.  So I’ve decided to combine these two issues here on Gilroy Review and sponsor a Christmas Lights Contest for the fine residents of Gilroy.

If you (or a neighbor or a friend) have decorated the outside of your house for the holidays I wanna know about it!  Around the first of the new year I will mail off the First Street Coffee gift card to the residence that had the best holiday display (in the sole judgment of Zaira and myself).

How To Enter-

• Take a picture of your display and email it to philaahzophy@gmail.com
• Comment (or email) with your address and we’ll do our best to swing by ourselves and get some pictures

You aren’t limited to submitting pictures of your own home.  If you see a display that warms your heart and  you’d like to give something back to the people who built it, send me their picture (and address)!

I’ll post the pictures here as they come in for comment and critique.
