The neighborhood has put up its Christmas decorations. Most of which I'm only seeing by day, though the lights across the street are quite striking when seen through a morning mist. I took a photo yesterday morning, but it doesn't really do them justice. Most of our Christmas gifts have arrived as well, and are now sitting under the tree. I'm not sure when we're supposed to have our Zoom meeting for opening them. But that'll be a bit of cheer in what will be the simpler and more deadly half of these two months. I think those of us old enough to remember the 2000 election were all immensely relieved when the Supreme Court effectively noped out of this one. I suppose they figured they especially don't need Trump anymore anyway. But with things now officially getting violent in the streets of DC...well, there's more than one reason to sit tight as home in this area right now.
