This year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the city of Palestine chose to forgo hosting its annual Christmas Parade of Lights, and host the Great Palestine Christmas Decorating Contest.
This contest encouraged locals to decorate their homes and businesses in competition for cash prizes for the best Christmas decorations. The categories included: residential-traditional, residential-eclectic and business fronts. Submissions ranged from elegant light displays to quirky inflatable filled lawns. Some told stories, while others dazzled viewers with their creativity.
