My time in the USA has provided me with plenty of opportunities to enjoy houses decorated for the Christmas season. These are lit-up for the entire month of December, often even until January 6, the traditional feast of the Epiphany and the end of the Christmas season. The New York houses were at times overcrowded with images and symbols, crammed into a limited front lawn, but the Bend, Oregon homes, having more property, the lights are more spread out, and are more visible, allowing the owners to be more creative.
Here you have the contrast between a Bend, Oregon house and a New York house. While the first photo is a digital photo, and so is much sharper than the second one taken with a conventional camera, and this is a scanned copy of a printed photo. Neighbors are usually very unhappy as hundreds of people gather to enjoy these houses, while they park their cars in the limited space available.
