Today’s walk was in the Masterston Station neighborhood.  This generally felt like a pretty typical Ball Homes neighborhood from the last couple of decades (there are a few traits that seem to typify Ball Homes neighborhoods, but the giveaway here was the sign at the neighborhood entrance).  The oldest homes here seems to be six years old or so, and there are still some platted lots where houses have not yet been built.

The outstanding feature of the portion of the neighborhood I walked through today was it’s numerous manger scenes, which varied from traditional to more lighthearted.  There were plenty of less overtly religious light displays as well, but it was pretty clear that residents here in general take Christmas pretty seriously. I did get a chuckle out of the Santa and baby Jesus scene, a merging of traditions I guess.
