Okay, I admit it. I've begun really enjoying decorating for the holidays. For years I refused to "give in to the holiday hype" by putting up more than a few faux candles or some equally noncommittal decorations but over the last few years... okay, over the last decade, I've really enjoyed decorating our farmhouse. For starters, our house is not in a closely packed neighborhood, where holiday kitsch can be overwhelming. It's on a long road, mostly dark, where the cheery glow of occasional holiday lights really brightens the dark winter evening for our commuters. There's space to enjoy each separate display and what it reveals about the taste and humor of the residents. And there is a huge capacity for amusing the neighbors. Hence the flamingos that are the highlight of this year's display at my house. $15 on Craigslist. Ha! I'm in love.
