Week 8 Obsession- Chloe

I went to go look at some Christmas lights and displays. This particular display struck me as it didn't feel icy or fall into the typical Christmas colors of red white or blue. Purple to me is a color of obsession, of control. I love looking at Christmas lights as much as the next person but I think it's turned into a holiday of obsession for many people. The obsession with being enough, of gathering love for family and friends, of having material wealth and of feeling warmth. I think these obsessions can make holidays as harmful as they are uplifting. That's why I associate Christmas this way, it's beautiful and yet uncomfortable and full of expectations. The darker colors in this display feel a little eerie as well as cheery. I fits my view of the season perfectly.
