Light show

This evening Hubby, B, G, and I all piled into the minivan and took a drive.  We grabbed fast food tacos and drove around New Ulm looking at Christmas lights.  We talked about which lights we liked and which we didn't, and oooed and aaahed at the festivity on display.

Then we went to Sleepy Eye to see the light show in their city park.  Normally the Kiwanis puts on a great light show in Mankato, but because of COVID it was cancelled this year.  So we went to Sleepy Eye instead. 

Overall it was a very nice show.  We all wished it hadn't been as epileptic-seizure-inducing with the flashing lights.  We prefer a more static display with all the lights on at the same time.  But for a small town of only 3000, it was quite nice.  We made a small donation in the box on the way out.

The best view of all was from across the lake, with the reflection of lights on the ice.  Just lovely.

We don't do much decorating on the outside of our own house, with only one string of colored bulbs running along the eaves.  Truth be told, we leave our lights out all year long.  We do this because: a) we're lazy, and b) the lights look just as pretty in June as they do in December.  We can get away with this because we live out in the country.  Everyone knows country folk are naturally just a bit odd.
