Seeing as it’s that most wonderful time of the year and throughout it I get the opportunity to bike home to Silver Lake from Westchester in the dark across a variety of neighborhoods and communities passing a wide variety of homes festively festooned, I figured why not stop and snap some of ‘em and then post a weekly selection of those I encounter and enjoy each Friday of December. Tis the season, and all that jazz.

So without further to-do, here’s the inaugural quartet, one for each of the first four days of the month. Left to right and top to bottom: East Hollywood, Lexington & Madison; Faircrest neighborhood, Guthrie & Crescent Heights; Culver City, Duquesne between Lucerne & Farragut; Crestview neighborhood, Corning north of Cattaraugus. Click each to enlargify.

PS. If you’re goofy like me and compiling/posting your own collection, link to where they can be seen in the comments. Or if you know of one somewhere nearby my nightly commute from work that you think’s worth a bike-by, lay the location on me and I’ll do my best.
