Decorating

I am not much for holiday decorating.  I don't do Easter or Halloween or any other holidays.  I do put a flag out for 4th of July.  My Christmas decorating is minimal, at best.  No Christmas quilts or sweaters.  Just a tree, and perhaps some candles in the windows.  I do have Christmas napkins!

That is not to say that I don't like to see decorations.  I just don't like to decorate.

I thought about that on my walk this morning.  Many in my neighborhood have their Christmas decorations up now.  Some are quite traditional, some modern and trendy, and some just plain different.

I did not have my good camera with me, just my phone.  Its camera is poor, and I don't use it well.  But, here is a taste of the sites I saw.

 Elf in a window box?










It is a Sesame Christmas for these kids.
There are usually at least two of these giant Santas on the street.  Only one spotted this morning.










This looks like a fox to me, but I believe it is suppose to be a tiger.  That is an Auburn University flag to the left.

I think I will leave the yard to the birds, squirrels, chipmunks and other critters, and let nature be my decorator.

I'm with you, I live in a rural area and the last one on the lane.
So I have really slowed down on the decorating. Cutting back on
inside to, so much stuff collected over the years needs to be retired.
Your neighborhood looks nice. Wish mine were a little closer.
But if they were, I would probably wish they weren't.
Have a blessed Christmas.
