Christmas 2023

Christmas lights for 2023.

 

Every year I take photos of our outdoor Christmas decorations. I thought it would be appropriate to post this on the shortest day of the year--the Winter Solstice. I can't wait for the days to begin to get longer again!

This year hasn't been one to go all out on spending, so I used the strings of lights accumulated over the years--it's not even a fraction of all that we have, but it was all I had the energy to do this year. It's not what I would call outstanding, but festive enough.

 

 

A nice picture postcard snow would help, wouldn't it? But there's nothing in the forecast to indicate we'll get any snow before next year. Our neighbors across the street have gone all out in the lighting department--Herb says that it's the Chinese Restaurant theme! It is pretty, though.

I keep telling myself that there will be better years ahead... Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
