Evergreens and Colored Lights

'Tis the season, and the combination of evergreens and colored lights is all around us. Don't feel limited to shooting Christmas trees or decorations, however. Any evergreen(s) or colored lights (the two don't have to be together and both need not be included) will do. It's what YOU do with it - and perhaps also the story you share - that will make it special and appreciated. So brave the cold and share your unique view of the splendor around us.
