January Squares: Happy New Year Lights

Hurray! Becky’s back with her quarterly month-of-squares photo challenge! The theme this month is light! She suggests:
It would be great if you could join me daily, but you can post whenever inspiration highlights a square. Together we can alight this month with squares of sunlight, penlights, candlelight, searchlights, starlight, headlights, stoplights, taillights, flashlights, moonlight, fanlights, taperlight, floodlights, torchlight, skylights, gaslight, streetlights, and twilight. Or whatever word(s) ending in light scintillates you over the next thirty-one days. We’ve got plenty of choice with more than fifty words in the English language ending in light, and even more in other languages. So whilst I am not expecting any squares of trothplight we can share the limelight under all the spotlights!

2020 has just begun and many places usher in the new year with fireworks. The photos below were actually taken on 4th of July in Elk Grove Village a few years back, since I did not attend nor photograph any New Year’s fireworks.

We spent a quiet New Year’s Eve as we have for the last several years: noshing and drinking wine at my sister’s house while playing some rip-roaring games of Scrabble!
Here what we missed by not being squeezed among the crowds at Navy Pier in Chicago:
