Festive Tasks, Door 3 — Light(s), Task 2: Share some photos of your favorite light display, if you have them, or if you have a neighbor who goes ‘all out’, snap a photo to share.
Our neighborhood is not an ostentatious one when it comes to Christmas light displays — there are no figures or scenes created from holiday lights nor even colorful flashing lights; just light garlands hung down from balcony rails or slung around trees every which way the branches happen to suggest, and other fairly modest decorations, such as as white, yellow or red stars with lights in them in the windows. But I love coming home at night in the holiday period with all those lights on, and I love taking a walk throught the neighborhood on Christmas Eve, when all is quiet and just those lights are shining. And I love the holiday decorations in the windows of the two little stores at the corner of our street, put together with so much heart and care every year anew. Here are a few impressions from this year’s holiday lights and decorations, collected earlier tonight:
I like looking at holiday lights, I enjoy the simplicity of them and how calm they look. There are some individuals who can put together a huge display with thousands of lights and have a religious and cartoon theme both going on at the same time and those are great to admire too as I think of the time and commitment they made for everyone else but a few little lights still make my day.
