With
the click of a slow-speed camera shutter and the turn of the zoom lens, a
colorful explosion of Christmas lights illuminate from the darkness during the
recent Holiday Boat Parade at the Bradenton Yacht Club.
From the glowing
Menorah candles of Hanukkah, Judaism’s Festival of Lights, to the various
colored Christmas bulbs illuminating trees, houses, golf carts, or a boat in
this case, it is a season of light.
A season of celebration, family, giving and
rededication, all lights in their own right that overcome the darkness.
Have a
blessed holiday and new year.
