Nearly every window or storefront presented a holiday touch, each different from the other. The Main street lights also added a festive air. The posts were gar- landed with laurel and the lamps lighted with vari-colored bulbs, making them look like oversized Christmas tree balls. We had as attractive a Main street as can be found anywhere. Not overdone and not too expensively done. Then of course, we must not overlook the cozy homes nestled in the snow with decorated doorways; lighted Christmas trees and can-iles shining through the windows. Sag Harbor has indeed a quaintness and old fashioned friendliness which we are all proud of.
