It may be a silent night in Glen Cove, but it certainly is not a dark night with Christ- mas lights, menorahs, inflat- able’s and other jolly dis- plays lighting up Glen Cove neighborhoods. Local photographer Tab Hauser, on the night of Dec. 8, ventured through Glen Cove’s residential communi- ties to take photos of festive houses. Among the houses were those on Jerome Drive, Cres- cent Beach Road, Whitney Circle, Perdue Road and Bar- low Avenue and a police booth decorated on School Street. “People put a lot of effort into decorating their homes and capturing it through my eye and lens is a great way to share it,” Hauser said.

THE “FORCE” CAN surely be seen on Crescent Beach Road, top right.
