House Christmas Lights

All I can say is that my house looks like the last spurt of a long stream of coming.


How's yours?

I refuse to put up lights. My wife likes them so she puts them up on the bushes in front of the house. I'm not doing it. I think it is a waste of time, energy, and electricity.

We have a few. They look nice. They're LED. Hubby did a good job.

We bought our tree on Saturday. It's sitting in a bucket of water in the back yard. Be fresher this way when we are ready to put it up than if it was sitting in the parking lot of the tree place getting all dried out.

Every year, my husband derides my bahumbuggery till I give in and tell him he can put up lights. Every year, he procrastinates till it's too late.

It's nice how some things just work out.

We don't put up lights. Too much electricity.
