Bright Lights of Bloomington

            One aspect I love about December is the Christmas lights. If you ever go to Bloomington in the winter, then you have to check out the downtown square. The city hangs up Christmas lights from the top of the courthouse that sprawl out and attach to the roofs of the neighboring shops in each direction. When you walk under them, you feel like you are under a floating tent of lights. It’s beautiful.

            My other favorite lit-up area is the union on campus. The university hangs two vertical candles that span the whole wall of the union, top to bottom. The candlestick part is red and the flame is yellow. It’s pretty incredible how large these displays are. These are just two examples of Bloomington's bright December, and I can’t wait to see the city pop up with more lights as the month continues.
