As a kid, I remember piling into my parents’ car and heading out to look at the Christmas lights around Astoria. I say “as a kid,” but I distinctly remember doing this on Christmas Eve the first year that Andy came to my house for Christmas. I don’t think I really qualified as a kid anymore at the age of 21. That aside, I have always really loved to look at all the Christmas lights. As a kid, I thought the lights were magical. As an adult, the lights remind me of the season and bring back memories from when I was a kid. Tonight, we piled the kids into the car and went driving around. This house made us all smile (love the “Candy Cane” roof!) and made me think of those times as a kid… Maybe some day Laura and John will remember these times when celebrating the magic of Christmas with their own kids.
