Our first drive is usually the weekend after Thanksgiving. For the most part, that's when we have discovered that the holiday adornments start going up. As the weeks progress toward Christmas, the more there is to look at. We usually spend an hour or so a couple of evenings a week slowly cruising the streets and subdivisions of Mt. Airy for a holiday fix. Now, I don't just mean Mt. Airy proper, I mean the entire 21771 zip code and beyond.
Some folks are very elaborate with their decorative efforts, while others are quite simple.
During our drives, Jack and I are very appreciative and usually quite complimentary about the beautiful displays we see. We ooh and aah over them and make comments to one another about how lovely they are. However, once in a while we come across a horrendous array, with blinking, running, mismatched, garish lights and decorations going here, there and everywhere. Our comments are not so favorable in those instances. But comments such as those are usually few and far between.
