Festive Moments

Time to tour the best Christmas-decorated places in town
With a map in hand of all the beautifully lit-up houses to be found
Despite the amount of time to set up and to take down the people have given us a wonderful gift for all of us to enjoy
Whole streets have banded together to create a visual spectrum of flashing lights and creative characters that bring smiles to all the girls and boys
Carollers can be seen going door to door singing songs full of joy
On the rooftops, Santa and his reindeer seem to be in control of the night, ready to deploy
As if like magic the clouds open up sending a burst of snow floating down
Soon the lawns will have a blanket of snow without so much as making a sound
In the living rooms, trees with their colorful attire show off to the people walking by
A large crowd has gathered at the end of the block, jolly old Saint Nick handing out candy canes and looking spry
Christmas may come once a year but joy and happiness need to be spread every day
As you walk by a neighbor who has decorated his place a special thanks should surely come his way

We used to do that when our kids were young. Not so many now. Sad. I write lots about strong communities as only way to solve issues. I have been president of local Lions and Toastmasters, Cubs and scout leader among other things. World cups need volunteers. Love Christmas always have always will. Your no fuss writing keeps true to your positive nature with joy your key note point and each line shows us how joy can can grow in us all. Will look at other themes you are challenging yourself David
