How to be a kid again
I love Christmas lights. They give me a chance to feel like a kid again, with a little of that magical, wondering awe that children feel. Jim and I went out to look at lights in San Carlos and Redwood City. It was lovely to see so many people out, smiling and saying hello to strangers. I like walking along in the dark, or almost dark. I feel that people don’t see me, even when they smile and speak. They see the child in me, enjoying the lights and having a nice time, not the adult who can feel sad at Christmas to remember all the people who aren’t here to celebrate the holidays with us.
I’m learning a new camera and took lots of pictures. Most were terrible. The ones I included are here because they came out okay, and they enhanced my feeling of being a kid as we walked along. (All the images will enlarge if you click on them.)
I liked the simpler decorations for the most part.
Home made or old looking is a plus with me.
This Grinch was the most humorous site.
Some of the houses were over the top.
And just as we were heading to the car I saw the moon over this big tree.
It was a beautiful ending to the evening.
However you celebrate the season, with lights or singing or dancing, I hope you have a wonderful Holiday with the friends and family that you love.

Go Judy! What a cool idea (the blog). Little kid inside definitely needs to get out more. Tinsel. I think I am into tinsel, but I have to find some. Should not be too hard this time of year. I also noticed that second hand shops have the old xmas tree orniments in the old boxes -- all seem to be manufactured in Brooklyn. Enjoy.
