Christmas Fun 2023

A sampling of our Christmas activities!

Our church, Saint Mary of the Mills, had the usual amazing display of poinsettias. 

Christmas deco

We saw some of the fantastic light displays in our area.

Near the mill in Savage, Maryland is a house with a full yard of inflatables and lights.

Foundry Street decor

We found a Clydesdale inflatable but didn't stop for photos in one Elkridge neighborhood.

A more tree-centric house was our next visit.

Trees made of light!

Riverside Circle (back in Ellicott City) had music along with the light display. Nothing like a little FM to sync with!

Our big finale was on Red Hill Way in Ellicott City. It even has its own Facebook page!

The next door neighbor, realizing the impossibility of coming even close, has only one yard decoration.

If you can't beat 'em, copy 'em!

A popular Christmas present was Ribbon Ninja, where players try to take ribbons off of each others' wrists. It's a bit like flag-football but with ninja action.

Ready for action!

Lunging

It's all fun and games until someone loses their last ribbon

We went bowling and forgot to take pictures. Too much fun was being had. We may go again in the new year.
