There’s one house within a half mile of my house who has lit up the sky for the last 50 years or so. Originally, the husband became Santa every year to talk with any kids in passing cars & giving out candy. He did that up until Covid hit. People drive from miles around to see the show. They were doing this even before it became popular. The popularity grew every year to the point that neighbors or either side became part of the show lighting up their own homes. The husband passed away last year & I assumed that would be the end of the show…WRONG!!! The neighbors put up the decorations for he widow this year, so the legend continues.
Now, there are 2 houses on my street who put up those awful blow up Christmas decorations. Their yards are covered with 6–8 foot blow up snowmen, Santas, reindeer, sleds, etc. I would just as soon that they be covered with lights than those tacky blow up dolls that go flat on the first really cold night. I do my best to ignore the tacky ones & focus on the pretty ones!!!
