Party Lights

Our Christmas Tree lights are so festive this year.

They've been showing off, dancing around . . .

. . . reflecting themselves off of whatever they see.

They really do seem to be having a fabulous Christmas season.

Okay, Mistah may have something to do with it too.

I just sit and relax and read, and Mistah captures the lights dancing around the house, like so many Visions of Sugarplums . . .

. . . danging right around my head.

They do sometimes overdo it, but hey, it's Christmas.

My favorite is when they swirl around the pieces hanging on our walls. Like Dorothy's original watercolor and ink, her wedding present to us . . .

. . . and our print of Jim Tanaka's Wild Women Don't Have the Blues. Not around here, they don't.

I think when we go to bed at night our Christmas Tree lights take over the house, pour themselves glasses of wine, and start their nightly bacchanal . . . swirling . . .

. . . twirling . . . dancing . . .

. . . generally carrying on and having themselves a grand ol' time.

Our Christmas Tree lights know how to party.

  6. I think Pablo was onto something when he said "the progression of shots." That's the way colored lights look to me, too, after a progression of shots. Speaking of shots, can I bring you and Mistah anything from Mexico, Ellie?

  7. That is some wild, wacky stuff! I have to concur about the shots, or perhaps our little Schlekah has finally gone 'round the bend!

    I love how much you love your tree, Ellie!

  8. Some of those look like hieroglyphics! I like how your tree dives headfirst into a glass of wine.

  9. Holy shit, Ellie! That last shot is crazy!!! It looks as though the tree is about to burst into flames.

    And just admit it -- you LOVE Christmas:-)
