Santa Claus and Rudolph are among the inflatable greeters outside the Yarwood residence in Estate Humbug, St. Croix. Agnes Yarwood said she never bothered to count the number of lights she and her husband had been hanging since last month, but they add a little bit every night as the winter wonderland comes to life.

Christmas in lights

Denise Humphrey and Melinda Greaux have partnered for the last 10 years to bring festive cheer to Frenchtown. St. Thomas, by decorating Juliana’s Bakeshop. Greaux operates the shop where residents can purchase sweetbread, Vienna, rum and black cakes among the treats offered over the holiday season and year round. Humphrey’s decorating started out as a way to cheer up Greaux’s grandchildren, who were toddlers at the time, and has continued as a community effort. Humphrey, who owns the building housing the bakeshop, said it takes four days, after coming up with a design, “and a community effort” to put up the lights.

The Frenchtown community traditionally holds a Christmas tree lighting event where a bell is rung for those lost that year. The bakeshop design features a candle in their memory, Greaux said. The bakeshop will remain lit each night until after Three Kings Day on Jan. 6. And, the cost to bring such good tidings to all? “It’s not as much as we thought,” Humphrey said with a laugh. Nearby, the Twisted Cork Café (inset at right) is also spruced up with lights.
