Christmas lights

Time to see our favorite Christmas houses.  Each year we have to see of this house has been lit. This family "encrusts" their home on all sides, including the windows.  This is the back of the house.




Here is the front and one of the sides. The only things not covered is the front and garage doors.

Charlie found a warm cozy spot to take a snooze.

At my one of my favorite walking and birding sites, I came upon this small herd of deer.  They were feeding by the edge of the woods and did not seem too concerned that I was watching them and taking pictures.

At one of the parks in our area, a Christmas light show to benefit area youth programs, was ready for viewing. You drive your car though through and can give a donation at the end.



It is so nice to see the display. It has become a yearly drive through. They are adding displays as they get get sponsors.

The view from our kitchen area.  I am keeping my bird feeders full.  The mourning doves depend on the smaller birds to flick the seeds to the ground, as they are ground feeders.  They had decided to take a time out and perched on this tree. It seems they were waiting for the next round of feed.

I have been working on all my projects from my last post.  On Thursday at sewing, I prepped them for quilting and embroidery.  Several are done, and more are being worked on.
It is fun to sit in the evening, work on the handwork, and watch some pretty good Christmas shows.
It is cold and snowy outside, what better way to spend your time.
Have a great week.

We have a couple of places nearby that do a similar light display. Very pretty. When we had our ice storm, I had birdseed in the feeder but also flung some out on the ice for the doves. Everybody had a feast! HA

Wow, that house is really something. I wonder what their electric bill is for December and if their neighbors complain too much? This reminds me of the house on Christmas vacation! I love the deer pictures. Thanks for sharing!
