It's such a pleasure to walk about downtown Newburgh. The windows are lovely, the city hall is all decorated and all the old buildings look new. Christmas does that for me. So many things look new.
~~~~~~~
And then there are the fun yard "guests" that brighten the day. . .even the Grinch is a friend. Snoopy and Woodstock are such characters. Santa is always there to offer just the right amount of cheer!!
I do love the lovely old and regal houses. They offer warmth and festivity to all who pass by. There is the Giving Wall. One of the residents has offered gloves, hats, and food to any one who is in need and it is such a heart warming gesture that others in the neighborhood have contributed to the Wall. I think that's what's meant by "good will to all [people]." And with that I wish all a very Merry Christmas!!!

Thanks be to God!!

ReplyDeleteI wish you still lived in Oklahoma. When I first started blogging I quickly found a whole bunch of fellow Okies blogging, they all quit. Every single one.
Your decorations are lovely, and so are the ones around town. Thanks for the holiday tour! Merry Christmas!
