Views of the Neighborhood – Christmas Decorations

~ John W. Howell

Since this is the last Sunday before Christmas, I thought it would be fun to cruise the neighborhood and take in some decorations. Also, since we are going out at night, I thought it would be good to have desserts. We are being catered by Spot in New York City.  Our entertainment is Bruce Springsteen.

So hop on the bus and let’s go.

First, a stop at the Little Library, which is all decorated.

A giant figure in the front yard.

Probably CEO of the electric company.

A multicolored display.

A unicorn and color-coordinated lights.

Santa and elves. One in a helicopter.

I took this in the daytime. Pretty bland.

Look at it at night. A wowzaa.

Here is the purple house which you have seen many times decked out for the holiday.

Here is the gate decoration of a big ole single-family house.

A night view of the decoration. Notice the red nose on the longhorn.

That’s it for this year.

The Producer, Twiggy, Lucy, and I wish you a very Merry Christmas. Now relax, have some food and listen to Bruce sing Santa is Coming to Town.

  15. Dear John,
    isn’t it amazing how our different cultures moved away from each other? The idea of what is beautiful is so different.
    We love driving around to other villages looking at their Christmas decorations.
    Thanks for showing all these decorations

  19. Since I’m late today, I snacked on the coconut monkey bread while I oohed and aahed over the decorations (Except the deflated figures – which is what I’m used to seeing here!)

  25. What’s not to love about this Christmas edition? The menu is superb, the neighbors are right out of Currier and Ives, and the Boss is sending us off into the week with a classic holiday keeper.

  27. The Christmas lights are impressive, dear John. I wonder who is to fix them? I suppose that it is a true adventure to climb up to the roof yourself. 🙂 🙂 🙂

  31. There’s nothing like cruising the neighborhood listening to “The Boss”. Great shots of Christmas spirit, John, though the second photo brought back the “Let It Go” earworm from the Frozen movies. 🙂

  32. Little Free Library, Olaf (I have an Olaf winter hat), Christmas lights, and my absolute favorite Christmas song- life is good. Thank you for a trip in the neighborhood, John.
