Oh My!!!

This what I encountered as I was walking up to my oldest sister's apartment!! This had me in awe......I couldn't resist taking a picture. Which makes always having your camera in your purse handy...lol....When I took the picture, I tried to get far enough over to the side where the the person who lives there couldn't see me.....and I snapped away! Then, as I was done and laughing, a little old black lady peeped her head out of the patio door and said, "Thank You!" with a great big smile. I said "You're VERY welcome!"UGH!!!...Now I felt horrible, because she had no idea that I was making fun of her patio.....not loving it!!! She had 2 fully decorated Christmas trees, a African- American last supper figurines, and boxes folded flat and wrapped stuck to her patio walls.....man, Christmas hurled on her patio BIG TIME!!! This is what I NEVER want any dwelling place of mine to look like at the holidays!
Closer version, and as a bonus......I waited until she turned the lights on...lol

Another patio in the same area, but nothing compared to the first one!

And this is some shopping center decor I had the pleasure of enjoying while out shopping and eating lunch in Dallas, close to North Park Mall. I thought it was really pretty. I was gonna take a picture of Santa and his "reindeer" they had set up for photo ops for children. But as we got closer, I realized that it wasn't a "reindeer", it was a miniature shaggy looking horse.....What a disappointment!!
