Neighborhood Christmas Lighting Competition

Here are a few pictures of our out-of-control neighborhood. Bruce and I took a walk a few nights ago to snap these pictures, and one of my neighbors was unloading several more boxes of lights from his trunk (his house is pictured with the brick porch). He said, "This is nothing! In years past, I used to decorate all sides of the house."

Yesterday morning it snowed for the first time. Bruce and I celebrated by putting on his marshmallow suit and puffy boots, which he loves and wears around the house anyway.
