Holiday Lights

Read about a family With a house of sparkling lights, Which take months for them to hang For weeks of festive Christmas nights. They made the Guinness Records book And people drive for miles To cruise around their property With oohs and aahs and smiles. Their neighbors, though, are not so pleased With all the crowds and noise, Which brings both trash and brightness And their quietude destroys. When interviewed, the family said They’d rather have a hand In bringing joy to strangers, Which their town should understand. I see both sides, but what I know Is that their huge display Makes me glad they’re not my neighbors - If they were, I’d move away!
