Joy of Giving

The joy of giving and Christmas lights are two of the things I enjoy most about the Christmas season.

In the midst of holiday fun, here are some sparkling presents, gift tags, and stars. These were all spotted along the canal in Scottsdale, Arizona. I am so ready for Christmas! How about you?

    Beautiful gallery, Pepper. Some of the decorations reminded me of the ones here in our town.

      I went over to your site to have a look and I can see why! They are almost identical. 😁

        I did not include the gift box that is very similar to the one in your post.

    Pepper, your reminder about the holiday lights in the Valley of the Sun brings back memories of our wiinter stays in Buckeye. Alas, our stays now in Tucson are after the holidays, so I miss the festive lights. Thanks for the memories.

    The light displays are wonderful Pepper. They have them but we have to stay up quite late to see them in their glory.

      Yes, they are meant for people to walk into. If you closely at the bottom right photo on the top gallery, there is a person dressed in red inside the present. 😉
