Christmas in Lakewood - a community photo gallery

Post by Peter Grossetti »

No Scrooges or Grinches allowed!! :wink:

“My idea of Christmas, whether old-fashioned or modern, is very simple: loving others. Come to think of it, why do we have to wait for Christmas to do that?” ~Bob Hope

And what better to show love, that to share!

Hope you share your Lakewood Christmas photos!

I remember my father driving me and my brothers and sisters to see that huge tree in the window on Lake Ave at least 50 years ago. Glad to see the different owners over the years carrying on the tradition

I spotted these two pop culture icons on my evening walk.

Doh! Ho! Ho!
Look who I ran into on Cook Avenue. Looks like Homer had a few too many Duff Beers.

Mr. Parker: It's a Major Award!
Swede: Shucks, I wouldn't know that. It looks like a lamp.
Mr. Parker: What is a lamp, you nincompoop? It's a Major Award. I won it!
Swede: Damn, hell, you say won it?
Mr. Parker: Yeah, mind power, Swede; mind power.
