House Christmas Lights

[sweetwater]

We are surrounded by people who have paid other people to wrap their tree trunks in white lights in early December. Up and down the street is a ghastly, ghostly, gauntlet of gleaming tree trunks. That's our house, there, the one that has the same yard lamp out front (with fluorescent lights) and moonlight to light it up. Maybe some year we'll put up lights. Not now - wasteful, and I'm a cheapskate.
