Merry Christmas, everyone! As has been my Christmas blogging tradition, I'd like to share something from my life. A few blocks from our house is a lane with about 12 houses, which ends in a cul-de-sac. Every December, all the houses but one go out of their way to decorate for Christmas. There is even a Jewish family that gets into the spirit. The picture above is a full-on view of what we like to call, "The Cul-de-Sac of Power!" I'm sure the local power company just LOVES these guys! ;)
It's become a family tradition for us to drive down their street at least once a year and take in the sight of this free light display. Yeah, so it's the commercialization of Christmas, taken to a high degree, but it's also a testament to the closeness that these neighbors probably share. Our cul-de-sac decorates, too, but not to this degree.
I wish you all the very best of Christmases and a New Year filled with the joy and peace that only our Savior can give! Merry Christmas, everyone!

Our kids are grown, but we still drive around and look at lights. The lights of this cul de sac would be especially meaningful. More than just a light display, it is a community effort. Good post.
Sorry, Babe, but that pic just doesn't come close to doing the real thing justice.
