Christmas in the desert
For 13 years, residents along Niblick Drive in SaddleBrooke play
host to a night of holiday lights, food and music.
And Monday nigh was no different.
Hundreds of people made their way down the road clad in Santa
hats and sweaters while drinking warm beverages. Visitors mingled
with friends and neighbors and singing carols into the early
evening.
During the “Grand Lighting”, the Southwest skies put on a show
of their own with the moon, Jupiter and Venus. The two planets
formed what is called a planetary conjunction where two planets
appear to be very close together.
The planets will not be that close together for viewing again
until May 2013.
