Christmas Lights!

Oh I do, do, do love running around other peopleโ€™s Christmas lights. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Last night I was really tired, (crazy busy at work, not much sleep๐Ÿ™„), so I trundled gently to a nearby area of housing with lots of cul-de-sacs and ran in and out of them enjoying the twinkling reindeer & many shimmering bushes & trees all shaking in the wind. That, along with a random selection of film music & jazz kept me going beautifully. ๐Ÿ˜„ It looked a bit strange on Mapmyrun - like wonky sprouts on a stalk๐Ÿ˜‚.

Lovely, I run early morning so no one has their lights on. I run round an oval shaped private road so know what you mean about the wonky line ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ

I only run in daylight but did smile at a lovely nativity scene outside someones house, the adult figures about 2 feet high. I felt a bit sorry for them in the pouring rain, feeling they needed a shelter ( maybe a stable if there was no room at the inn๐Ÿ˜‰).

I'm one of those who normally tut-tuts about people putting their lights up too early. But when I've been out running in the dark and the rain these last few weeks, I have to say I've been wishing people would get some lights up to cheer the place up. (Can't please me either way, can you!)

Lol! ๐Ÿ˜‚ I havenโ€™t put my lights up yet, ( thatโ€™ll be another 2 weeks probably), but Iโ€™m certainly enjoying OPโ€™s. ๐Ÿ˜€

Oooh what festive fun ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ I love this ๐Ÿ˜. I run up Knob Hill, where the posh folk live. Wait til itโ€™s dark and then run down the road oohing and aaaaghing at the lovely bay window displays. Thanks goodness for Keeping -up-with-the-Jonesโ€™ type folks ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜. They do put a lovely free show on. Merry Christmas one anโ€™ all ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
