Who doesn’t love Christmas lights? Part of the holiday
tradition involves admiring the lights while driving through town. There are a
couple of amazing displays in our area. One of them, located in a nearby town,
is huge. It probably takes weeks to set up, and includes traffic directors,
communication gadgets, and even a port-a-potty. You can imagine the amount of
work involved in decorating that property. It’s an incredible sight, but a different
Christmas light display grabbed my attention this year.
The display engulfs a modest house that sits several yards
from the edge of a busy road. When I first saw the house in the evening, it looked
like every part of the property glowed with bright blue lights. As I drove past
the house, all of the colors switched from white, then to another color. Imagine
a whole property full of colored light flashing as you pass by. The intensity
of the light against the darkness made me nervous. I felt like there were silent
bombs exploding alongside the road. I wonder what their neighbors think about
living next door to silent light bombs. Once the holiday season starts, there’s
no telling what your neighbors will do. Don’t we all need a special kind of humor
to get through the month? Have a look:
Anyone who lives next door to a light show needs that decoration.
I appreciate the big light displays, but I bet many of us would vote for simplicity.
What if we picked from an upbeat collection of Christmas words to
decorate our homes? What word would you choose?
