‘Tis the Season
Thanksgiving Day was very late this year, so it seems like Christmas follows hard on its heels. And is almost here! Decorations abound from wreaths to trees to garlands. Here in our small community, there is a proliferation of beautifully decorated Christmas trees. These are all indoors.
They range from traditional with many colored lights to thematic with pickle ball rackets and bicycle ornaments on the fitness center tree.
There are also artistic trees, bare branch trees, and snowy trees. Some of these are decorations done by the residents on each floor.
And some trees have a mate.
The Chief Penguin and I have yet to find a tree. It appears we left behind our two little blinking light trees when we moved, and no store so far has had a replacement.
We won’t give up the hunt, but in the meantime, my favorite tree is the one above, “Ho, Ho, Ho!” May you enjoy the seasonal good cheer in your neighborhood. It brightens the world on these short dark days.
Note: Thanks to all the neighbors and others who provided these beautiful decorations. All photos ©JWFarrington (some rights reserved.)
