Welcome, also, to the Rectory for wine & cheese and a ride through Highland Park to see the best lights. 

By the way, we are dropping the idea of riding bikes through Highland Park to look at the Christmas lights.  It is just too cold.  Plus, each bike would need lights on front and back, a little expensive.
