I drove the long way home after an appointment last
week. Since Thanksgiving was so late
this year folks, including us, seem to have jumped right into Christmas. I figured I’d see a few light displays. It was foggy, even drizzling a bit, and yet, for
me the stars were aligned. Number one I
had the camera. Number two, there was no
wind. I arrived at the harbor to low
tide but a still reflection. A half a
mile away, Meeting Pond mirrored the lights on the town common. Last year my
husband gave me a mini-tripod I keep in my car and I set it up on the cement. It’s a good thing it was dark, because I looked like a contortionist, squatting down to [squirrel] level, squinting at the
viewfinder.
I read something recently.
Celebrating each day leading up to the holiday puts
less pressure on the day itself. Oh yeah. Christmas isn’t just a day, it’s a season. .
I’m in for that.

Wow, those are great photos!
Celebrating a little each day is what it's all about.
It's definitely a season. Love the reflections.
Oh, wow! Love those shots!
I love that idea. Celebrating each day simply because it is part of the season.
Your pics are stunning!!!
Awwwwwww such pretty pretty pretty festive lights! I do love the run-up to Christmas! It totally brings out the child in me! Take care

I finally did some decorating today. I'm have some trouble getting into the spirit of it. Perhaps because my shopping list is so short. I need to buy more gifts.
Gorgeous! I love how the reflections mirror the season's excitement. I try to drag the season out with a special Christmas Eve Eve Eve meal, then a nice wine with snacks in the living room prior to the meal on Christmas Eve Eve, then Wheee on Christmas Eve as that's when we open our gifts.
Wow, your contortionist moves were totally worth the effort, because your photos are gorgeous!
Yes, Christmas is more than just a single day... or even a season. It's a state of mind.
