Every year for as long as I can remember, we've spent part of an evening driving around and looking at Christmas lights.
Tonight was the night. After Isaac finished his third (and final!) driving lesson, we loaded into Charles the Explorer and headed out. We checked out a selection of displays here in the valley, and stopped partway through for dinner from the Wendy's drive-thru. (I had no idea that Son of Baconator was a thing but apparently it is. Go figure.)
Anyway, we saw a mix of old favorites and new offerings, and it was a peaceful outing. All in all, it seemed like there were more lights than usual this year, and in particular, more joint efforts across multiple neighbors. The latter surprised me, given how divided we all seem to be these days, but it also gave me hope for the future. If we can find common ground in Christmas lights, maybe we can find it in other places, too.
