This thread looks so lonely with no posts on it so I thought I'd post something.  :D  One of my nicest memories is of a Christmas a few years ago that Bob and I spent in New York City, where we had gone to celebrate the birth of his first nephew.

So here you go Rockefeller Center at Christmas, in memory of that lovely time in our lives.

A tradition here in California is the Annual Boat Parade of Lights, many of the harbor towns have them, San Diego, Newport Beach, San Francisco...all complete with carolers, Santa and fireworks.  It's a lovely way to spend a crisp cool Callifornia December evening.  Bob and I go down to San Diego with a picnic, park along the embarcadeo a few hours before dark so we have prime viewing, when the parade starts we settle back with our hot chocolate and have a lovely few hours.

We have a local artist here in Portland, Pandora LaCasse, who has been doing incredible light scuptures the past few years. Each year she adds to her collection and now they are all over the city. This is a picture I found online. I want to try to take a few of my own to post...the lights are really, really, cool.

Wow, the posted pics are really impressive. I'm not much of a decorator, so all outside decoration we have is what you see here: coloured lights at the three front windows and a garland and a wreath at the door. That's all.

And if it weren't for the children, we wouldn'd have the coloured lights. I had sworn to myself that I would never, ever have these coloured things, I hated them. Too corny, too lurid, too much.
After some years of begging, I bought them for the kids. But now, after three or four years of getting used to them, I like them too  ::).
