Yes, that’s right…the neighborhood on the hill that decorates all their trees the same is at it again. This street becomes quite busy between Thanksgiving and Christmas! There was a lot of traffic last night, which we joined as we made our way up and down the street. Of course, we also saw the HILL sign with LEA ghosted onto it and lots of other nice Christmas lights. This was an incidental visit; we haven’t yet taken our annual tour around town to view Christmas lights.

I must suggest, however, that you do NOT go out looking at Christmas lights until you have a copy of this CD in your vehicle. Listening to the Vince Guaraldi Trio play the songs from “A Charlie Brown Christmas” while taking in the lights of the city is the ultimate sentimental Christmas experience.

Put it in your iPod for the Parade of Lights tonight in downtown Bismarck, and keep the CD in your car. It’ll put you in the Christmas mood any time you hear it. Once the snow comes and stays, this is the minidisc I put into the player in my truck, and it doesn’t come out until the snow’s gone. Please go buy this CD: trust me, it’ll bring you Christmas joy on Northview Lane or any other Bismarck-Mandan street this winter.
