One of my all time favorite traditions of Christmas is piling into my Uncle Tom's rental car and going out driving to see the lights in the neighborhoods, the lights the town puts out, and listening to Christmas music on the radio. It used to be that he had to bribe us with Dairy Queen, or sometimes Starbucks works (though that is more something J&J and I have done the last two years). Now, as I think of what a gift that time alone with him and my sisters was and how I never truly appreciated it as I should have, I will be so excited to look for lights and go driving this December on the hunt for the beautiful lights.
I just love these photos (credit to the photographers who provided them). The first is of the lit tree. I absolutely love trees. I love when people decorate their outdoor pines and evergreens. The second photo is of lights on trees that were put up by a city/business. I love walking downtown with lights above my head. It makes me feel so happy and light on the inside. The last photo is of a home decorated for the season. My favorite lights are the small yellowish clear lights. I don't like the LED blue that burns your eyes. I know they're Energy Efficient, but I don't like the headache they give me. I'm also a huge fan of the huge bulbs in multi-color. They remind me of living in Arizona because they were our neighbor's lights. If a flipped one of my blinds up I could stare at the lights all night long. It was the best.
