Christmas Lights

One reason I love the Christmas season is the beauty of it. I love the lights people use to decorate their houses and buildings. Beginning after Thanksgiving, whenever we drive at night Alyssa also enjoys looking for them. It's one of our favorite things to do this time of year. Last week we drove down to the historic Mission Inn in downtown Riverside to take a look at their lights and other decorations. They go all out with thousands of lights, moving figures, carolers on each balcony, and other decorations. We were joined by many hundreds of other people, so it was hard to get around, but Alyssa and Jonathan were fascinated by it all.
