Thanksgiving is now past and it is time for Christmas decorations.

I had already been seeing them, even before I left on Thanksgiving for my trip to Iowa. However, they  really started popping up while I was gone this week.

I know that I won’t see a display at this house in the neighborhood, as the house has changed hands. However, there will still be plenty of displays nearby.

I am not sure yet whether I will have a display in my yard. My neighbor did put some lights on my tree while I was gone, and may just be waiting to see if I will let her use my yard.

I have seen some simpler displays going up and I look forward to taking some pictures in a couple weeks while out for a walk.

Quite often I travel in December and am not home to see the local displays slowly come up. I leave for a trip and return to see a transformation. However, during the pandemic years I have not been traveling. I miss seeing the Christmas decorations in the Christmas markets in Germany.
