Default It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

IMG_6134

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Ev'rywhere you go;
Take a look in the five-and-ten, glistening once again
With candy canes and silver lanes aglow.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas,
Toys in ev'ry store,
But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be
On your own front door.


Merry Christmas! (Even if there are still 23 days left till Christmas)

If this picture and song doesn't get us all in the mood, nothing will. Great bokeh. Thanks for this. PAUL

Why even Perry Como himself would give you a hat's off for your efforts in both the photo and accompanying festive lyrics.

Proof that simple is best. Great shot.

I really like this for a few reasons, the simplicity, great bokeh and the reflection. Great shot!
