I found myself driving around the west side of Carson today, out past Ormsby Blvd. I turned into "Kingston Park", one of the most upscale neighborhoods in town, and just had to take pictures of some of these homes.

The Governor's Mansion is looking very resplendent in its Christmas dress.

In case you thought you had to wait until after Thanksgiving to put up Christmas decorations, don't sweat it. You can just follow the example of the Nevada Governor's Mansion, which seems to have taken down the Halloween decorations with the left hand while simultaneously putting up reindeer with the right.

And if you were worried that Thanksgiving had been skipped over entirely, don't be. There is a little tableau out by the street, where the "Gibbons Family" brings you apples and muskets and Technicolor turkeys.

It's time to start getting excited for Halloween! Many of the houses on Carson City's west side, including the "hot spot" along Mountain Street between Musser and Caroline, have put up their decorations already. Less than two weeks now until the big day!
