there’s something really endearing about getting a brief glimpse at each uniquely decorated tree as you’re driving by. is it a small tree? a big one? do they prefer colourful lights or warm bulbs that look like tiny flickering candles from afar? it’s a short-lived moment, but it’s a nice reminder that we don’t live in complete isolation of one another. even something as simple as putting up and decorating a christmas tree can be a shared experience.
