December 2021 Story 12: Wynnum Lights

The weather has been such a wonderful temperature. The cool nights have meant more energy to do things in the evenings. The season has also come with significantly more rain. So much rain that many nights this month the Christmas Lights at people houses has been turned off or it’s been too wet to venture out. Here in Wynnum, we have only had a few houses decorating but it has been so cool to go out at nighttime and check on a couple of decorated houses here and there. The neighbourhoods must notice the extra traffic, because at nighttime these streets are normally very quiet, but during the season there is a little stream of cars driving around in the very early evening checking out the lights. It’s a busy time for families with little ones and the goal is to get them showered, fed, and in their pajamas so we can jump in the car and catch a little bit of Christmas Light magic.  It can also be a time when the little ones are at their most tired so sometimes a little delirium can kick in too. Here are some photos of the lights in our little suburb.
