An Annual Tradition



Every year it is traditional to put up Christmas lights the weekend after Thanksgiving. This year is no different. My husband started decorating with the lights around the house and will probably get the rest of the decorations out tomorrow. Here’s a picture taken with my cell phone. I’m Jewish, so I wanted blue and white for Israel and Hanukah. We’ve had blue and white lights up for the past four years, but my husband wanted red, white and blue to be patriotic this year. However, the combination of the blue and red make purple, so it’s a little confusing. It looks pretty, though. And, we’ve already gotten a lot of compliments on our lights from our neighbors and friends on Facebook.

I’ve always loved Christmas lights and enjoy driving through other neighborhoods to see their decorations at night. My sister lives in a neighborhood that goes all out for the holiday season! They close off streets and direct traffic in certain areas so there are only pedestrians walking through the neighborhood. It’s a little crazy, but really fun. I’m looking forward to seeing them next month. My sister also puts up blue and white lights for Hanukah and so her house isn’t dark compared to the rest of the street. It’s a sight to see.

The holiday season is upon us! Enjoy it!
