| Christmas in my Neighborhood, © B. Radisavljevic |
I'm writing this on Christmas night and all the neighborhood Christmas decorations are still shining brightly, most having no relationship to either the birth of Jesus or the Wise Men. One of these scenes is pictured here. I'm wondering how long they will remain in front yards this year. I'll be watching and reporting. Meanwhile, I enjoy seeing the colorful lights as long as they last. How long do you think people should leave their Christmas decorations on display in their yards?
I hope you had a delightful Christmas Day, whether you celebrate Christmas or just a day off.
Hi Barbara,
ReplyDeleteGreat to see you here! In response to your point about the decorations having nothing to do with the birth of Jesus, etc., Christmas has become commercial. I saw reindeer in the picture--Rudolph, etc.
I hope your holidays were happy. Thank you so much for your support of my blog in recent weeks. Much appreciated.

I've enjoyed your blog, Janice. I hope I have a chance soon to participate in some of your meet and greets. I agree that Christmas has become commercial, as has every other holiday.
ReplyDeleteIt is four days after Christmas now and although most of the outdoor decorations in my neighborhood remain, I have noticed a few have disappeared already.
ReplyDeleteI'm seeing some disappear in my neighborhood, too. Maybe the desire to conserve electricity and avoid high bills is part of the reason. One of the houses part of the popular Vine Street Showcase event had a $500 electric bill in a previous year.
