and so the season begins

Most of my neighbors start decorating for Christmas the day after Thanksgiving (which is today for those of you not here in the USA). I used to think that was rather early, but now I enjoy the cheer of the lights as the days keep getting shorter. I still get caught off guard when my afternoon walk ends up in darkness!
I liked the way the lights in this blip illuminated the ladder hidden away for more decorating tomorrow :-)
