Biking To See Holiday Season Arrive At MSU

My bike rolled me around a dozen miles this morning. Perfect temperature for pleasant bike riding. 

Eventually we rolled to the MSU (Midwestern State University) campus, where we stopped to take a picture of the annual arrival of the Christmas installation known as the Festival of Light.

I think I am remembering that name correctly. 

It takes awhile to set up this massive installation, hence beginning well before Halloween. 

And so it begins, the annual return of the Holiday Season. We now fast track through Halloween, then Thanksgiving, speeding towards Christmas and then New Year's Day. 

Never has been my favorite time of the year.

But, I have already almost completed all my Christmas shopping...
