After dark on December 30, we drove about half an hour to Greensboro to see a huge neighborhood collection of Christmas decorations. Some years ago neighbors decided to hang balls of lights in trees. It spread so that now there is a big area where most folks decorate their yards. They agree to have the lights on during a certain period before Christmas. Participation is voluntary after the 25^th, so we probably missed some.

We drove around and ended at the booth where food for charity was collected. Beth and Bob had brought canned goods and left them there. It was a marvelous experience for me.
