While we have been featuring holiday lights again this year, Mary sent that photo and said the neighbor who decorates the traffic circle at 17th/Cloverdale is worthy of recognition too. Absolutely! (To suggest a spotlight on decorations and/or lights, editor@westseattleblog.com – thanks!) Now, on to what’s happening for your Friday, two lists – first, from the WSB West Seattle Holiday Guide:

HOLIDAY FILMS AND SINGALONG: Doors open at 6:30 pm at South Park Hall:

Brian Edwards is a local film collector who lights up Admiral Bird every Saturday night with his 16mm films. He lugs in his projector and screen for the mere satisfaction of sharing his collection with the public. Everyone is welcome and there isn’t any fee to come on in and enjoy the kitsch appeal of film. On December 15th we are taking this experience over to South Park Hall. He is going to team up with Tim Scallion, a one-man band, to create this special night. We will show films and have group sing alongs. There will be popcorn (free for the first 10 people), beer, pork sliders, doughnuts, hot cider and coffee. The doors open at 6:30, show starts at 7 pm; tickets are $12, kids 5 + under are free.
