The Titerroy Neighborhood Association is already working on the Christmas activity program. Among the activities that will be launched is the Christmas contest to decorate facades and balconies in the neighborhood's homes, as well as the Christmas card contest. In the latter case, with the collaboration of the neighborhood schools CEIP Titerroy and CEIP Benito Méndez Tarajano. The Christmas shop window decoration contest will also be held.

The holiday program seeks to encourage citizen participation in the decoration of lights and Christmas decorations of homes, in order to contribute to the festive atmosphere in the streets of the neighborhood during the upcoming Christmas season, as well as promote creativity and good neighborliness among residents.

The decoration of balconies and windows must not cause any danger or harm to people and property. The decorations must be visible from the street, and installed from December 10 to January 7, both inclusive.

All homes (facades, gardens, windows and balconies) of residents of the neighborhood who wish to participate may participate in this contest. There will be one participation per home/business and person. Anyone who wants to participate must register for the contest, until December 15. The theme and subject of the decoration of the balcony, window or facade will be exclusively Christmas, including nativity scenes that can be seen from the outside. To choose the best facades and balconies, originality, design, lighting will be scored, and handmade or recycled Christmas decorations will also be valued. There will also be the traditional excursion visiting each of the nativity scene portals on the island, this will be on Sunday, December 17.

The Christmas activities have the collaboration of the Departments of Festivities, Culture, Seniors and the Department of Education of the Arrecife City Council. It is planned that in a few days the different collaborating departments will hold a coordination meeting with the neighborhood group to close the festive events in the neighborhood for Christmas. This activity also has the good collaboration of the San José Obrero Parish, San José Handball Club, Tinache sports club and Titi sports club.

The Neighborhood Association appreciates the great effort and work that the residents and merchants do in the neighborhood, because they themselves are the ones who take the initiative in the Christmas decoration of our neighborhood. And, they ask the Arrecife City Council to concentrate the effort so that Christmas reaches all the neighborhoods of the city of Arrecife.

Residents interested in participating can contact buzontiterroy@gmail.com, stating in said email the participating person, name of the participant, with the address of the exact place where the Christmas decoration is carried out.
