Any season can seem stressful -- I'm reminded of spring when we want to get the garden planted but are distracted by new goat kids and grass that grows faster than we can cut it.

Christmas time, as well, has a reputation for stress, but is that because we fill it too full of things to do, driven by advertisers and media?

Almost every year since 1986, my town's had a Christmas themed celebration. I have now been involved in some way in over half of the entire history of this event!

In recent years the festivities have been organized by friends of mine. I'm always the event photographer, the event promoter, and I also help coordinate aspects of the event in other ways.

The highlight this year were a couple young girls who were amazing baton dancers. These girls were elite and I managed to shoot some hand-held long exposure light trails of their glow in the dark performance.
