In the midst of a time where communities (online) are becoming divided and showing ugly colors, I thought it would be nice to be reminded that there’s still a time and a place where communities can pull together and show their beautiful colors – in the form of holiday lights!

This past weekend we piled the family into the car to do some sight seeing around town and came upon a small neighborhood that is just bursting at the seams with holiday spirit. Just three days after Thanksgiving, homes and yards were already lit up with some amazing holiday light scenes and I couldn’t help myself from taking photos. As we crept past each home I was amazed at the time these families spent creating such spirited displays for the holidays. Neighbors were out and about, mingling with each other and helping each other add even more decorations. It was a nice reminder that there’s still a loving community spirit out there somewhere.
