Literally, a few hours after the last of the snow from the other day melted,
bit more fell today—about the same amount we had the first time. This evening,
I decided to go walkies around the neighborhood to look at the holiday
decorations. There's a pretty good many around, and that makes me happy
because I love seeing the neighborhood all done up. It's pretty cold out
there, but once I got moving, I felt plenty comfortable.
I was most curious to see how our lit-up trees in the woods behind our house
looked from other vantage points. There are several areas on the neighboring
streets from which I can see them, and they really do look great—kind of like
a bunch of fiery creepy crawlies from another dimension.
As they should.
Our next-door neighbors have a nicely decorated place, and they put some
lights of their own around the edge of the woods next to us. So, we have what
looks like a convocation of spritely spirits out there, and I heartily
approve.

Since Brugger is in Michigan, I took the opportunity to wrap her Christmas
presents today and put them under the tree. I always label them clearly, so
that, come Christmas Day, there is no confusion about what belongs to whom.
