Photo Challenge

#6 Shopping- 

not that I got much accomplished 

since I had both Big E and the Brat child with me.

Neither one is keen on shopping.

#7 Bright. 

No explanation needed

#8 Ornament-

This is my flying pig ornament.

The pig is actually an example of Scherenschnitte

which in German literally translates to "scissors cut".

It's the art of cutting paper into decorative designs.

#9 Something You're Reading-

Picked this up at REI (my new favorite store)

in order to learn some things for the big hike in October.

#10 Wrapping Paper

#11 Green

#12 A Beautiful Sight

Our church Christmas tree-

not only is it beautiful, but so are the handstitched Chrismons

and the fact that the Brat Child was so thrilled to help in the decorating.

Gearing up for Christmas

I posted this same video last year during the Yuletide season.  

It is a taste of what a Deltaville resident sets up in his yard each year.  

The video shows about 36,000 of the 77,000 lights he set up last year.  

This year he's reported to have 80,000 lights.

Check out his website Deltaville Lights for more information.  

The lights are on now until January 4, 2013 5:00pm- 11:00pm Sunday- Thursday 

and 5:00pm- midnight Friday and Saturday and Christmas Eve, Christmas Night and New Year's Eve.

 The display is located on Rt 33 in Deltaville so go check it out!

Deltaville Christmas Lights

Posts will most likely be a bit sporadic in the coming days as I try to muster some Christmas Spirit, finish shopping, do all the wrapping and start the baking.  

So I leave you with this YouTube video of a light display in Deltaville.
