Keeping up my Christmas lights
3 min readJan 19, 2022
Last Christmas I invested in a set of string lights — solar string lights. I wanted lights outside my house without JPS (the electricity company) charging me an arm and a leg. I wasn’t yet sure of what design I’d go with but I knew I wanted lights outside. I love the excitement that they bring. I love how they sparkle. I love being almost surprised to see them each and every day, even though I know they are there. There is just something lovely about Christmas lights.
