SUMMARY: his weekend we are saying goodbye to the year and the Christmas season. Many people light up their homes and yards with Christmas lights, marking the end of the festive season. Some popular displays, like the Richardsons in Madison and the lights on Canton’s square, will go dark after the holidays but will be back next year. Santa was spotted in Canton, and Jackson has the tallest lights on Capitol Towers. People like Mac Clements in Pearl keep their lights up until January, bringing joy to passers-by. Most people leave their lights up through New Year’s or until January 6th, the traditional end of the 12 days of Christmas.

It has been a pleasant distraction from traffic and reality to have yards to look at driving past on the way home after work at night. Slowly, these yards will start going dark over the weekend and into next week.
