Christmas Decors and Lights at Chestnut and Elizabeth St.

Have you been around Journal Square to see the beautiful Christmas lights and decors of the houses? I took these pictures about two weeks ago, before the pre-winter snow storm hit the East Coast.

NJ.com posted the finalists of Jersey City’s Best Christmas Decorated Homes contest 2009 hosted by Pat O’Melia. Unfortunately, no homeowner from Journal Square made the final list.

Below are some photos from Stuyvesant Avenue, Romaine Avenue, Garrison Avenue, Chestnut Avenue and Elizabeth Street. The decors are much beautiful in real life, I must say.

Corner of Stuyvesant Avenue and Romaine Avenue

Last year, I posted these two houses on Stuyvesant Avenue, and they’re back.

This one on Chestnut is just right across the house on the top-most picture.

Elizabeth Street

Garrison Avenue

Most of the decorated houses are within the borders of Journal Square to other districts of Jersey City.

Bye Wreaths; Welcome Back Banners!

Bye Bye Wreaths!

Saw this on Bergen Avenue… Christmas wreaths that adorned light poles around Journal Square were being taken down, and the contractors were putting the “NEW Journal Square” banners back up.

I am under the impression that the city is going to use the same ornaments next year.

Beautiful Christmas Lights and Decors

Bright lights

Have you tried driving or walking around Journal Square at night? If yes, you probably have seen houses adorned with bright Christmas lights and ornaments, such as these two on Stuyvesant Avenue near the corner of Romaine Avenue.

I have seen several other buildings/houses with nice, head-turning Christmas decors; unfortunately, most of them are on the hidden streets — off the main roads.

See two more photos of this house (left) …

The pictures were taken before 8 PM this evening. With Christmas only 10 days (technically, 11) away, the owners of the house were still adding lights to the existing configurations.

Merry Christmas

Santa doll by the front door.

As I was admiring the scene, the owner told me that they have a big Santa doll, and pointed up to their front door.

Have you seen a house/building/apartment with more beautiful decorations?

Sunday Photos: JSQ Christmas Wreaths

Yesterday afternoon – in the rain, some contractors installed wreaths around Journal Square. I’m almost positive that these decors can only be seen on major JSQ roads (ie. the Boulevard and Bergen). Looks like the SID is already preparing for Christmas.

Did you already notice these ornaments?

Morning Shot - on Academy and Bergen

Evening Shot - tough to do because of the glare.

Are there any decors like these in other sections of Jersey City?
