Christmas

BJ has our tree all decorated and lit up.

Around the area, some home have gone over the top with decorations, including lights that are synchronized to music.

Lots of yards have one or two blow up decorations, while a few seem to have taken the challenge to see how many they can stuff into their yard.

Lights shaped as an old John Deere tractor,

a team and wagon,

or a trotter and sleigh.

In spite of the apparent evidence to the contrary, I don't think Christmas is about lights or shopping or excess. Instead, it's a reminder of Christ's birth in Bethlehem.

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas!
