More Holiday Lights and cocoa drives #GloucesterMA 2019
Here are a few more twinkling neighborhood lights in Gloucester, Massachusetts, from December 2019, including a few GMG reader requests and tips following the “merry drives and cocoa” post part 1.
(you can double click the photos to enlarge and pinch and zoom)
There are plenty of local homes decorated with white lights only or candles in every window aglow with single color bulbs. I love these, too, but my phone camera not so much.
photo caption below- I’ve always been in love with holiday lights. Personal distinction or traditional inspiriation- I’m grateful for all creative cheer each year. Decades ago ca.1970s, this home and yard (on Lowell Street between Peabody and Lynnfield) was trimmed all in pink lights. Just pink.

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
