2011 Cherry Creek Winter Holiday Decoration Contest!

Visions of sugar plums danced in everyone’s heads this holiday season in our Cherry Creek neighborhood.  So many people did an outstanding job on their holiday decorations!  Many of the houses glimmered and twinkled with beautiful lights and fanciful glowing creatures.  Upon entering our neighborhood, one would see a winter wonderland where giant toy soldiers stood guard at a sparkling house with brightly-colored snowflakes.  I almost felt the frosty snow crunching under my feet and heard the jingle of sleigh bells while strolling through the neighborhood on a winter’s night.  One homeowner’s lawn was overrun by mischievous longhorns and a cowboy Santa wishing us a “Merry Tex-mas”.  The creative, Texas-style decorations and hand-painted bovines were amazing!  Another yard was aglow with gigantic lollypops, candy canes, glittery gifts and shining polar bears.  Many beautifully-decorated yards received votes to win the 2011 Cherry Creek Winter Holiday Decoration Contest, but here are the three houses that received the most votes.  First place in the Holiday Decoration Contest goes to 9309 Silk Oak Cove.  Second place goes to 3217 Silk Oak Drive, and third place goes to 9301 Silk Oak Cove.  Thanks to all who participated in the contest and helped to make Cherry Creek a “holly jolly” neighborhood this holiday season!
