Holiday lights and cocoa drives #GloucesterMA 2019
Merry drives and cocoa:
If you’re wondering about holiday lights near you, in addition to the city’s beautiful seasonal trees and festive sparkle downtown, rewarding drives through Gloucester neighborhoods abound. These local homes were shining last week. Can you guess which street was most lit up? Grab some hot chocolate and go!
With each new day, more merry lights brighten December nights. Did we miss a street?
Answer- Reynard Street is dazzling and concentrated. (See if you can spot the back fence illuminated with fish shapes when you go. Neighborhood kids could set up a hot chocolate stand 😉 easy. Walk or drive with the great complete street work by the City DPW.) Other streets with decorated homes: Maplewood, road into Annisquam (coming from Gloucester look off to second story star shining off Goose cove), Rt. 127, Abbott, and)
Combine it with Middle Street Walk! Mark your calendars: December 14th

Emily the Meter Elf
Meet Emily. Yesterday she was going up and down Main Street putting extra quarters in each meter as she went along. Just to be nice. Just to share a little holiday spirit. Just to give you the extra 30 minutes you might need on a Saturday afternoon in December. Her parents accompanied her every step of the way. BTW, they are FOBs! THANK YOU Emily and family for paying it forward! You certainly put a little extra spirit in my heart yesterday.

Mason Jar Sip & Straws Are Awesome
I don’t know about you but I love drinking out of mason jars. The big ones with wide mouths. In the summer, in the winter, I just love their timeless nature and heft,
These lids screw on the top and come with re-usable straws.
You can get them on Amazon here–
