My boyfriend and I usually carpool to and from work, and
although our commute is long, the drive is on a leisurely stretch of road that
winds through the picturesque North Shore communities lining Lake
Michigan. This time of year, when the
sun has set long before we’ve even left our offices, we can admire the holiday
decorations adorning the beautiful mansions along the way.
Invariably, we begin debating the merits of white vs.
colored lights, and I usually change my preference depending on the day. Every
so often though, we’ll stumble upon an untraditional and highly impactful
display that happily reminds me that there can be much more to holiday
decorating than a single string of lights.
