Best House On the Block

In our neighborhood, we have two homes with especially fine Christmas lights. This is one of them. Twelfth Night has come and gone. Christmas trees rest at the curb waiting to be chipped and recycled by the county. Before I completely let go of the holidays, I wanted to share this image and say thank you to all the enthusiastic folks who string lights and set up herds of reindeer on their lawns. They cheer us through the longest, darkest days. I'm already looking forward to next December.
