MR Cache 2010, Dec 18 – Perfect Christmas Lights

Weekly Thoughts:

The snow and the unusually high number of houses with Christmas lights, the outside aesthetics has been a thing of beauty!  The Christmas lights shining thought the snow covering bushes and trees made practically every house that had Christmas decorations out look like something out of a classic Christmas movie!

This Saturday evening as I left for dinner, I had to stop and just walk around the driveway admiring all the beautifully light houses along the street.  I usually don’t do this, but everything looks so spectacular, I couldn’t resist!  Plus the brisk chill in the air made me think how pure and crisp the air was.  I was a great experience and I’m honestly thinking about walking around the neighborhood just to enjoy the experience.

My Favorite Post from MoneyReasons.com for the Week:

This week, my favorite post was Christmas Experiences During The Great Depression!  This was a post that was wrote from the heart and to date one of my best posts!  It involved a personal tragedy to my grandmother when she was a child and how she overcame the childhood experience to make Christmas a special time for her children and grandchildren.

Closing Thoughts:

Where I live it truly is beautiful!  This may be the only time that I’d rather live in my city than California or other warmer, ocean front areas.

  1. I enjoyed reading about your Grandmother’s Christmas experiences during the depression too. My mom was the youngest of 15 kids and the older kids were probably the same age as your grandmother. The stories told by my Aunts and Uncles and their difficult financial times growing up are more inspiring to me now as I become older.

  2. Hello MR – thanks for the mention. The lighted neighborhood is also one of my favorite things about Christmas. Next year we’re switching to LED lights, I’m getting tired of throwing the regular ones away because they don’t work.

  3. Hello Money Reasons!!!
    I agree that this is truly a beautiful time of the year. I have been in a better mood than normal, not that I’m typically cranky though. Thank you for linking to my post.

    Shawn
