Dear Residents of “The Christmas Lights Neighborhood”,
Can you believe it’s almost that time again? Before we know it, Santa will be on his way!
In keeping with PWF’s long running (37+ years) tradition of going all out when decorating the outside of our homes during the Christmas season, this year's Nite of Lites will officially begin on Saturday, December 8th and will end on December 30th. Judging will begin around dusk so be sure to have your lights and displays completed by that time or you won’t be eligible to win any of the great prizes.

We know that putting out lights and displays is a lot of hard work and you want to show it off. When doing so, please follow the time table above to help lessen the traffic flow late at night (when most mischief takes place).
We remind everyone to be observant during the holiday season. If you see someone suspicious or something out of whack, call the Constable @ 281-376-3472 immediately. A patrol unit is usually in our area and can respond quite rapidly. Please also utilize your driveways when parking your vehicles to deter traffic hazards and additional congestion on the streets during the Nite of Lites schedule.
Thank you to all of the residents that have participated for so many years. Remember that your elderly and infirm neighbors like to participate in the Nite of Lites tradition too but might not be able to decorate without some extra help.
Good luck to those that are vying for an award and a special THANK YOU to all the residents of non-Christian faiths that show their neighborly spirit and participate each year.
Watch for more information coming soon. Don’t let the goblins get you and we wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving!
The Nite of Lites Committee
