Christmas lights are going up on homes all over Snohomish and Island counties, and we’d like to show some of them off on our Web site.

The best display will be published in the newspaper.

If you would like to send in a photo of a local display you like, e-mail it to www.heraldnet.com/ sendphoto. Please send it in jpeg format with a maximum of 500 pixels and identify the address.

A Holiday Bowlathon is planned for two shifts, at 9 and 11:30 a.m. Dec. 27 at Evergreen Lanes in Everett, to benefit Everett- and Mukilteo-area Boy Scouts.

Register for either or both times. The format will be four-person teams bowling three games. Trophies and prizes will be awarded. The fee is $100 per team.

For more information, call 425-338-0380.

Youthnet’s Independent Living Skills program has a Christmas wish list to help foster children. Donate items at 3331 Broadway, Suite 1001, in Everett.

The program needs new clothing, school supplies, grocery gift cards, phone cards, tickets for events, watches, day planners, alarm clocks, accordion files and calculators.

Remember, many foster youth are teenagers and would like Christmas gifts.
