I’m cranky, but there is something about holiday lights that helps quiet my crankiness. Oh, I don’t claim to be cranky-free by just a quick glance at our tree, but it does act as a nice reminder of all that is good and all that is bright. Again, look for the light, and you’ll be better able to find peace.

Lenore's Thoughts Exactly 
Your tree is so colorful, sure to brighten a day.
We are enjoying it, Patti. I would love to keep it up year ’round, but I suppose it would ruin the specialness of the season.
Wow! Your tree is an eyeful, beautiful. Nice reflection on the glass.

The kids did pretty good, eh, Maxi? I love it. And yes, the surrounding windows make for beautiful reflections. Blessings to you.
Love the boys’ Christmas chain. Beautiful and peaceful tree. ♪All is bright, all is calm♫
Thank you, Georgette. There is so much fun stuff on this tree. I am so glad the boys decorated it.
Gorgeous. Makes me want some lights in my house!
SD, when I was single, I had lights hanging throughout my place – dorm room, apartment, in-law suite, etc. Even when I moved back in with my *cough* parents for a bit, I put lights up in my bedroom. The lights were there year round. I loved it. Do it!!
Must get lights!
I agree. Holiday lights uplift the spirit. You need the boost, what with all you’ve been through lately.
And the lights are boosting our spirits, Linda.
