This beauty was definitely the brightest star on Higel Avenue, dominating all the rest to become our top pick for decorated single-family homes in The Observer Group's Light Up the Key Contest for Siesta. Photos by Rachel S. O'Hara

Siesta Key
Neighbors

Driving around Siesta Key
Out to find the brightest spot
Palm fronds lit so delicately
Taking pictures as we stop

Driving around Siesta Key
Where mechanical Rudolphs adorn every lawn
Blasting Christmas tunes with the windows rolled down
We’re bound to have some fun

We get such a warm and fuzzy feeling
When we see
Reindeer-topped roofs, giant candy canes and twinkling angels
While serenading one another with the lyrics to ‘Jingle Bells’

Driving home from Siesta Key
Discussing the spirited light displays
This holiday season we bring to you
Our 2011 Light Up the Key!
