Here in Colonia San Antonio in San Miguel de Allende, I've started trying to "see" what is happening here close to my Mexican home. I photographed in the neighborhood at Easter on Viernes de Dolores and on Good Friday.
Now it is Christmas and I'm looking through the view finder to see what I can see "Close to Home."
Juanita's Pizza....just around the corner from the house. 
Christmas Pinata in the Mechanic's outdoor shop.
Altar in the house across the street from the Mechanic
Christmas tree outside a house on the street behind us.

The idea that subject matter is close to home is something I embrace in my work. I have always needed to be completely "unwound" in order to produce any kind of sensitive work in response to a place. When I travel I am caught up in the "wow" response. It usually takes days or weeks in a place to let go of that. Until I get that comfortable my images are generally of the postcard variety---pretty but devoid of anything else.
Your images are great, especially the one of the Christmas tree outside the house. Looks almost surreal.
Merry Christmas!
