Your neighborhood in lights

If you like decorations on houses, this is your time of year. Hampden's Miracle on 34th Street gets most of the media attention locally for its homeowners' devotion to all things bright (and quirky -- see the hubcap tree above), but you can hardly go anywhere without seeing homes lit up for Christmas or another end-of-year holiday.

Share some with me, so I can share them with everyone.

Here's the idea: Snap shots of a decorated house or street in your neighborhood (or elsewhere in the area -- anything that catches your eye), and email the photos in jpeg form to jamie.smith.hopkins(at)baltsun.com by Tuesday the 23rd. I'll put up the results -- if any -- on Christmas Eve.

Ho ho ho.
