Remember my last post of the unusual angel and homemade tree in a yard close by? Well, they both light up!!! We passed them tonight. So here is the angel before.
And here it is all lit up at night.
And here is the homemade tree unlit.
And lit.
The angel of the LORD encamps around
those who fear him, and delivers them.
- Psalm 34:7
I spotted this angel just about three blocks away. It is very different from any I have seen before. Almost kind of holographic? I don't know what this material is that it is made of, but it does make it look otherworldly!
There was also this in the yard beside it, a homemade wooden tree.
There were shepherds camping
in the neighborhood. They had set night watches over their sheep. Suddenly,
God’s angel stood among them and God’s glory blazed around them.
Luke 2
There are many, many angels here.
They can stretch for over a block. This is The Appalachian Christian School, just a few blocks from our house. We live in between the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Appalachian Mountains.
But what are so many angels doing out in the cold this month?
Each angel had the name of a student who died. So many, and so young!
One thing I find strange is this sign wishing a Merry Christmas, right beside the angels. There will likely not be any more merry Christmas's for these families.
Bless God, all
you armies of angels, alert to respond to whatever he wills. Bless God,
all creatures, wherever you are— everything and everyone made by God.
Psalm 103
Every year at Christmas time, the dog park decorates the tree there with photos of the beloved pets who have passed away. It is a Christmas memorial tree to their beloved furry friends. Every year I post it.
It's the eyes that get to me.
“But ask the animals what
they think—let them teach you; let the birds tell you what’s going on.
Job 12:7
Here is a house a few blocks away that has decorated the yard with gigantic ornaments.
Strangely enough, they also have this hobby horse with a wreath around his neck.
But look at it in the dark!!
"My ornament
collection is a reminder of how well I can spend money without a plan."

"If you think
that your ornaments already look good, wait until you place them in a cat’s
line of sight."
Unknown
"Every
Christmas tree should have at least one ornament that makes everyone go, 'What
on earth?!'"

Today's full Cold Moon has a fitting name, as it's been so cold here. It is the last full moon of the year, and it rose while still daylight.
A very bright Jupiter is right beside it, do you see it on the far right?
This is my feeble attempt to snap Jupiter.
Want to know why this is so different?
It's a garage door!
This is the latest Christmas decorating thing around here.
For this Christmas season, I went with a gingerbread theme in several spots around the house. Here is our coffee corner.
This is my favorite Christmas decoration that I have seen so far!! And on our street, around the bend!
