Our Christmas Lights

   When the two big Colorado spruce trees were small enough we decorated them with Christmas lights.  But soon they got way too tall and Leonard decorates the fence instead.  I love the garland around the front door and the little red wreath in the front wreath is one like my grandma had.  It was the first thing she hung up every Christmas. 

Here the welcoming committee of one is greeting you at the front door. 

Have you ever thought about why we brighten up the winter nights in December with Christmas lights?  I'm glad we do, they're so cheerful and pretty and take away the gloom of the cold winter nights in the darkest time of the year.                      Diane
