We were invited to a tree lighting/wine and cheese last night. It all started out as a bit of a joke, when I turned on my Christmas outside lights before December 1st. When I mentioned to the neighbours why they didn't have their outside lights on; they said they didn't turn them on until December 1st. So I suggested they should have an official Christmas tree lighting ceremony for their outside Christmas lights.
The phone rang on Monday evening inviting dh and I to the ceremony. As two neighbours were having the ceremony (they live side by side) I figured we had better not go empty handed. So after I got the winter tires put on the car I popped to the store to pick them up a Poinsettia each.
Popped into the dollar store and picked up a gift bag each.....they cost $1.25 by the way not $1, some candy canes and the little Santa ornament.
It's not a lot but it says we are thinking of them.
Today's Christmas song I thought should be about Christmas lights. Although this is really neat to look at I would absolutely hate to live next door to this!

What a lovely idea to have a light switching on ceremony :-)
Love how you dressed up the gift bags!
I'm keeping my eyes peeled for ponsettia in the supermarket. It's just not Christmas without one!

Good idea . I love the dollar store lol ! Glad all had a good time . Thanks for sharing , have a good day !
I think that is a lovely idea, maybe it could become the start of a great tradition.
Wow, I could only sit through it once.

What a lovely idea and memory maker.
God bless.
It occurs to me that I can't recall seeing poinsettas in the stores yet. I usually start seeing them a couple of weeks before Christmas.
me too Gill, no sleep at all
What a nice neighbourly thing - sounds like the start of a fun tradition.
I never turned my lights on prior to December 1st. Great gift idea. I visit the $ store often for gift bags, they usually have a great selection, they also have some very sturdy boxes that can be used for gifts.
