Let Your Light Shine

I never grow tired of looking at homes all decked out for the holidays. Conservation is important but you have to admit homes lit up with lights are a boost to the spirit!

Perhaps some of the blinking “Vegas type” homes are a bit much and may be missing the point of all of this, but you can’t fault folks for stepping out of the ordinary to celebrate just a little with their community.

Homes decorated with holiday trimmings are like a warm public greeting to people who pass by. Regardless of your religious affiliation or non-affiliation, the pure human desire to share good wishes, kindness and joy with each other at this time of year is a welcome change. I’m certain this all serves a good purpose that lasts long into the new year.

And just when we begin to forget the feeling we’ve generated, we get to repeat it all over again.
