It's after Thanksgiving, so now is the time for Christmas photo assignments. Two days after my slow wisdom tooth was taken out (and seven and a half years after my three normal wisdom teeth were taken out), I drove to Danville for Christmas on the Square. You can't help but get good photos of kids reacting to everything Christmas, and it was pretty easy for my slightly-squirrel-cheeked face to find good moments. The pivotal moment, though, was when an 8-year-old kid flipped a large switch and all the lights on the courthouse square turned on.
