By popular demand (okay, by one person's request), I'm posting a few photos of Boston's holiday decorations.
Here are a few photos of the Christmas tree and the Boston Common:
And for all those who are afraid that "holidays" are too commercialized, cheesy, and/or secular, there is also a Nativity scene on the Common.

And now for some images closer to home. The following 2 pictures are from the main street leading to my apartment in the charming city of Somerville, which I affectionately refer to as Cambridge's ugly sister.
Somerville Car Wash
Somerville Fire Station
Pretty! Did you know Brian and I lived in north of Boston for a couple of years?
ReplyDeleteI haven't gotten down to the Common since the Tree Lighting. I should have made a special effort to got into the Tree Lighting. I wish that I lived in the city, rather than the stupid suburbs.
ReplyDeleteDid you know that amount of lighting we have this year is a Holiday Gift? The city initially planned to scale back the display, until generous spirits donated their money so that the whole city could enjoy a wonderful display this year.
