Let There Be Light(s)

We live in a neighborhood of overachievers.  We’re talking manicured grass.  Windows washed annually (as opposed to….ummm….never since we’ve lived here.)  Spook houses at Halloween.  And now – Christmas lights.

These folks live one block down.  When Keith and I take our evening walk, we stop to pretend to look at the lights so it covers the sad fact we just want to stop for a minute.

Neighbors two doors down – a young, beautiful couple whose children have perfect teeth.  They hosted a Backyard Bible Club this summer which Julia and Hannah attended, and I’m pretty sure “envy” was one of those seven deadly sins they studied.  Which is why I say no more.

Rachel sometimes babysits for these neighbors.  She swears they never run the air conditioner so I guess they’re saving fossil fuels for this display.

The deer are really big this year.  I like them.  Keith thinks they’re tacky.  Of course, he also doesn’t want me getting the reindeer antlers I covet for my van windows, so, what does he know?

But personally – I think all their puny lights pale in comparison to the lavish decoration adoring our home – our Christmas flag.  So there.

“Mom! The flag is dazzling!  Really!”
