Part of creating a welcoming and special home is decorating for the holidays. At River Landing, there are dozens of homes that have decked the halls and trimmed the outdoor trees to show their festive spirit. The holidays are about making memories and creating moments and the way we decorate our homes helps to make the moments happen! In fact, it helps make the ordinary become extraordinary. Perhaps the real beauty of decorating your home for the holidays is it is an active decision to make otherwise normal days extra special. In addition, decorating and showing your holiday spirit for all who pass by creates a sense of community and that makes everyone feel that much more significant. With just a few extension cords and a flick of the switch, we feel seen and a part of something larger than ourselves. This season River Landing is so much larger than the sum of its parts with the beautiful outdoor decorations seen in our neighborhoods.
Twinkle lights are the perfect metaphor for joy. Joy is not a constant. It comes to us in moments — often ordinary moments.
