Early Christmas Lights

Here in the Shire, darkness falls early this time of year.

Generally by five o'clock, it's pitch black outside.

And that means a lot of us are driving home in the dark.

Tonight as I drove home from Virginia Beach,

I was surprised to see so many Christmas lights already.

I passed by big inflatable snowmen, reindeer, and Santas like this:

And lots of curtain lights:

And lots of trees and shrubs wrapped in lights:

I love seeing the lights in the darkness.

It almost makes getting home late worth it.
