Although not lit, I thought you would enjoy this one.
A snow person family at Mary Kay Ash’s old house.
Big spread of lights.
Large tree.
This was a dignified display
A couple of houses all decked out.
A grand assortment of blow-ups.
Rudolf the big-horned cow pulling Santa’s sleigh and half a Merry Christmas sign lit up.
Speaking of horns – A University of Texas helmet as a centerpiece.
The Grinch stole Santa who stole Halloween.
Looking like icicles.
A blow-up extravaganza.
Santa riding a dinosaur. Go figure, but you have not seen strange until the next shot.
What did I say? Our favorite Halloween house is ready for the holidays.
Well that’s it for this week. Next week we will go to the Lakeway Trail of Lights. It is time for music and Food. I hope you have a great week.

Love the One Long-Horned Open Sleigh.
We pass a field of long horns on one of our country roads, The only sad part is the small country store across the street that offers Long Horn Steaks, makes me think that Fred is in the freezer in the shed.

Now THIS is what a person can do to decorate when there’s not a foot of snow on the ground! Well captured, John. Enjoy the beauty while some of us hibernate indoors away from the below zero temps.

Great night view, John, with a different vibe for decorations! A bit magical even with a skeleton or two hanging around for Christmas. Fire hydrant was cute too. I’ll have the biscuits and gravy, thank you.

I’m late to the party, John. We had some snow to deal with yesterday. Not much, but it messed up my reading schedule. I was hoping this would be a tour of the decorations, so I’m glad I came.
Any chance there are Biscuits & Gravy leftover? Asking for a friend.

I think the fire hydrant is my favorite 😉 I’m partial to lights, not so much to the blow-up … whatever they are called. When I lived in NY, we would drive around, looking at houses that had their Christmas lights up. They were so pretty against the snow … although I guess you would prefer no snow where you live 😉
