The village is all set up. My wife will tweek it every once in a while as that is the fun of having it. She has ordered lights for her big Christmas tree.
The town square is a busy place and the kids are busy riding the horses. This is a day time shot but I will work at shooting some night shots. I am still short a few lights for the houses but that will be happening when I can get to the store.
The wiring on the old fashioned bubble lights was scary. It had electric cords wrapped in a cloth-like material that poorly covered the wires. My dad finally threw away the set and fifty years later I can now buy them. I first saw them at a country school Christmas party where my brothers were attending. That had to be in 1953.
This tree is in front of the window next to the street in our spare bedroom. I put lights on the one side just to make an impression for people looking inside. I put the bubble lights on the back side for us to enjoy. They are a fascination for me from history and really aren't that practical. I still enjoy them. I did not get to display them last season. Again I will try to take some more low light shots of them this evening. We both are done with our projects. I don't like how many wires that are on the tree but at night it is stunning.
Our lowest temp was at 5 degrees F. and our high was 17 degree F. It was cold out there to bring in the recycle bin. I will be glad when we get through the next day and warm up a little. Thanks for stopping by today.

I have a night light that is a bubble light. I like it but only have it on for a few hours because it gets hot.
They are so cool!
