Residents all over the area worked hard to make their homes bright for the season. Once again, Gellette Road takes the cake with its 200,000+ lights and thoughtful use of all of them. The house on Route 6 near Welcome Street is also back at it. We truly want to give others some ink, but…ah…how can we resist these two?
Marc Robillard, who decorates 35 Gellette every year clearly revels in the challenge. He also hosts Santa (see page 5) every year to spread the Christmas spirit.
“I wouldn’t do it if I didn’t love it,”s said Mr. Robillard, adding it takes about 550 hours of decorating.
We encourage our readers to hop in the car and cruise around as soon as the sun goes down (on Gellette, you need to wait until about 5:30 for all the lights to be on) and cruise by these houses, and find your own. See a few from Acushnet on the next page.
Be sure to visit New Bedford and Tri Town, too. The Christmas spirit is everywhere. You just have to look.
And Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays to all our readers.
