With everyone canceling Christmas this year, and Citi suddenly realizing it's too poor (cheap) to make even a few orphans smile, it's going to take a big man, and a huge, garish light display, to salvage any inkling of holiday cheer. That man is Paul Tudor Jones and that light display is the 15,000-bulbed one pictured at left. Yes, despite the fact that Tudor suspended redemptions from its flagship fund earlier this month, PTJ has stepped up to the plate and forged on with his annual Jesus-inspired show. According to Greenwich Time, the delight to the senses (the lights are synchronized to a four-minute music loop on 90.5 FM, and Mary is filled with Cadbury cream) includes bubble-shaped Christmas trees, custom-made snow machines, and candy-cane studded columns. The whole thing, which is dubbed "Believe," is available for public viewing on Harbor Drive from 5 to 9 pm daily through December 20, though Greenwich police have asked visitors (investors) to say in their cars while checking it out.

I thought this happened only in Bay Ridge and Bensonhurst, as well as parts of Staten Island. The Greenwich folks must be fainting. I'm surprised there's not a rule that lights have to be white only.

I'm sure Mary and Mr. Cadbury would not be pleased to see intimate details of their relationship exposed. Have a heart.

Jesus H. Christ! Thank God people are still doing this kind of stuff. Means the holidays will be a little less horrible this year. The Unemployed should go & visit all of these neighborhood Christmas displays, what with all of this time on their hands. May give a few people some new perspectives on life.

Who's Cadbury, and how did he go where only God has gone before?

@ 2. Greenwich does have that rule, but it only applies to the people that live there.

8 That's just too cryptic for me. Does PTJ not live in Greenwich?

@ 9 did you seriously not get the joke?

10 I did not. And by all standard measures (where I went to school, the three letters on my card), I'm not a dumb person.

10, not implying you were dumb, just did want to insult your intelligence actually.
2 said he/she is surprised Greenwich does not have a rule that lights can be white only. I meant they have a whites only rule, but that it only applies to the people.

12/13 Very good one. Thanks for the clarification. Like most of us (that are still working), I'm just working too hard I guess.

@8 Obviously, you still live in the 50's.
