On my way home, it’s usually dark, so I look at my neighbors’ Christmas lights. One of them has NOEL spelled in lights in their yard. One of the nights I passed, the E had collapsed; reading “No L”, which I thought was extremely amusing. The other night, it was the N, so it read “oel”.

Tonight when I was coming home, I looked at the NOEL across the neighbors’ yard, and I think from it’s tumble the other night, the E got hosed, so now, you drive past it, and there it is, in all of it’s festive, warm, and cheerful holiday glory.
