i love holiday light displays. i appreciate that viewing meadowlark's holiday display has been a steady fixture each year for me; i wonder if i have seen it every year since moving to virginia a decade ago. my companions change - most times with family but many times with friends along, too.
this year, it was just me and ander. we got chicken and waffle fries from hangry joe's, listened to the wall-e soundtrack, and took our time going in. on new year's eve and the weather was perfect and the attendees were sparse. no lines, no waiting, no rushing, no crying.
some displays have changed, but many remain the same; i think i like those the best. with that familiarity comes comfort and ease; fond nostalgic memories enhanced in and by their retelling.
