Merry Christmas from Me and My Neighbors

In January we will have resided in Oregon for three years - hard to believe, but true. Each year we are delighted and amazed by all the work one of our neighbors puts into his holiday light display.

He lives on a cul-de-sac and decorates both his front and back yards, and some of his displays are so large they have "marched" their way over to the yard next to his.

We have no idea where he stores these displays from February through October, or whether he has to take out a second mortgage during the remaining months to pay his electric bill. But we do know that his passion for the holidays is obvious and his efforts bring delight to our neighborhood and everyone else who drives down Murray Blvd. and sees the glow from his yard from blocks away.

My contribution to holiday cheer this year was taking pictures of our neighbors' yard to share with you and bring a little light and gaiety into your holiday experience. Hope you enjoy the photos and have a wonderful Christmas and New Year.
