Pretty Things: Christmas Lights
One of my family’s favorite things to do this time of year is take a ride in the car to see all of our neighbor’s beautiful Christmas lights. We have some neighbors who seem to have taken a few lessons from the Griswold’s (the wacky family in the movie “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation”). That is, we have some real light shows around here.
And while I love to see houses and trees enrobed in thousands of twinkling, colorful lights, my favorites are the simple white lights. I’m not one for the flashing Santas or the lit-up Frostys or the blow-up Grinches. Just some white- lit candles in the windows is my personal favorite.
Whatever your preference is, there’s no denying that this time of year is more colorful and sparkly than any other time. Enjoy it!
