A friend and I decided to have some seasonal fun together. Nothing exciting but nice. She and I are about equal when it comes to our physical issues. She picked me up and drove us to our little downtown. The store front displays are bright and merry at this time of the year. The little hardware was still open so we went in there and had a friendly chat with the Dad and son team that run the place. There's an Irish pub downtown. We walked a bit then headed over there for a snack of silly corned beef eggrolls before snooping in an antique mall. She drove us all over town so that we could gawk at folks yard light displays from the comfort of her vehicle. Wow on the displays! There were the usual Santas and Grinches, a few nativities but also a dinosaur, chicken, a large blow up arch and even a pig! Fun for one and all- never mind the light bill at the end of the month.

That would be a lot of fun seeing all of the displays. We have not done that yet this year.

@jstory07 The displays were amazing. A couple people appeared to have taken over two yards- huge amount of bright activity going on. There were trees that had bright red lights on them at the top with green trunks- they were visible for blocks.

I just love the light displays. Even my dad has a nice one this year. His neighbor took it upon himself to decorate my dad’s house with lights and little Christmas tableaus. It was a sweet gesture.

Some go all out here with their decorations. It's nice to drive around and see all the lights.
