urbpan: (All Suffering SOON TO END!)


I took this photo sort of as a study, so that [livejournal.com profile] cottonmanifesto would be reminded to take some great photos of this house. This place (known locally as "the Castle") is on the Arborway in Jamaica Plain, and they decorate for lots of different holidays, but at the end of December, they pull out the stops. According to this 2006 article, it costs over 2000 dollars for the month's worth of electricity. This year there are more lights than last year, notably the 20 foot tall star of David and the trio of cones at right, so that figure has gone up somewhat. I noticed in the past year a trend of combining images of patriotism with traditional xmas bad taste--is this a new thing, or is only new to Massachusetts?

For Barb, who has a fine appreciation of the broad overlap (6 foot inflatable snowglobe anyone?) of bad taste and xmas decorations.
