at this time of year

Flashing Christmas lights are migraine triggers for me, and they are so very common. I just realized that there aren't any Christmas lights in this neighborhood. None. It's nice living here. Ok, it's not always visually peaceful. (Last year I didn't notice if there were Christmas lights, because there were so many flashing lights around trolley and road repairs.) But this year is wonderfully peaceful. Strangers on the street have wished me "Happy Holidays," quite a few times, and "Happy New Year" (twice, already!) and once "Gut Yontif."

Oh gads, that must be so very hard, to have people's holiday lights triggering migraines. I'm glad your current neighborhood accidentally is an improvement!

Happy Holidays and take care!

I knew it was a Jewish neighborhood when I moved here. Some places have signs in both Hebrew and Yiddish. But we are far enough from Chabad that we don't see their cars with the big flashing menoras driving down the street.
