December 21

Every year, we take a few evenings to drive around and look at Christmas lights, and tonight served as this year's first pass.

So we got dinner at Burger King and headed out to see what the people of Livermore had in store for us.

Between coordinated light-and-music shows, a sea of inflatable dogs, and streets that featured more illuminated houses than I can recall them featuring in the past, I think the town outdid itself.

So today I'm thankful for the dose of Christmas cheer and I'm looking forward to seeing how our town stacks up the next time we venture out.
