The end of the Christmas holiday and the decorations are for sale at 50% discount.

We took a ride to Brooklyn to see the much talked-about Christmas decorations. Some houses are decorated where every shrub, lamp post and even the lawn are covered with lights. Some homes have signs stating that they were decorated by professional "Christmas Decorators."

Another little visitor who came for the holidays and left the house with lots of finger-prints on glass and crumbs on the floor.
He is a real sweetheart and not a problem at all!

May you enjoy the holidays in good health, with good friends, and family! 

A snowy, very cold day here and lots of holiday preparations to do, so I don't think I'll be out taking photos. 

I'll be thinking of you and I do wish you a happy time, whichever holiday you celebrate.

Our first "real" snow here on Long Island. 

Lucky for most people, the weekend is here so travel can be limited.

We took a drive out to Riverhead today and stopped at the Suffolk County Park of Indian Island.
The lighting and clouds brought out the autumn colors. Winter will begin in just a few days.

Light snow today. The weather report is for more cold weather and rain.
Well, winter is about to begin, so I guess we shouldn't be surprised!
