We have a local garden store that always has beautiful Christmas displays and many many varieties of poinsettias.

I don't go anywhere like that as there is nothing like that to go to here. How dull for us. There are lots of nice Christmas lights in different neighbourhoods but we don't take the time to drive by them I guess.

Funny thing is though, older neighborhoods with seniors, such as ours, gradually show their age too with fewer lights - must be the fact we find it hard to clamber up ladders to hang lights - while the younger homeowners, especially in the more affluent, new subdivisions, are doing what we did a couple of decades back! What goes around definitely comes around again! On Christmas Eve we always enjoy viewing the luminarias (candles in white bags) lit at dusk to burn all evening along the neighborhood streets. If there's a dusting of snow - not usual here though - it's even prettier!<br />Have a wonderful weekend dear - busy one for us all!<br />Hugs -- MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915239653283205065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-67540589055552873312013-12-13T04:14:54.908-08:002013-12-13T04:14:54.908-08:00I love the theme of the garden and the archways. ...I love the theme of the garden and the archways.

The viburnum is quite lovely and I think the French Hens are AWESOME!<br />In NW Oregon there are many places to see at this time of the year--one of my favs is Pittock Mansion located in the West Hills of Portland. I love the view and how they decorate each of the rooms. <br />Advent Blessings, <br />Aimeeaimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08255823818961459112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-2756798758099421992013-12-12T21:32:53.821-08:002013-12-12T21:32:53.821-08:00Oh what a wonderland.
