Lights

Christmas lights shine brightly in the trees.


The moon is constant in the sky.


I can't imagine the electric bill.

After caroling, my family stopped to see the Christmas lights at a house near Monroe Street. From a distance, it looks like the whole block is alight with brilliant Christmas colors. We've admired the lights in previous years, but this year the trees caught my attention more than the actual display. The trees and all of nature seem so constant, no matter the season, and no matter how the human world changes.
