Christmas Lights



I was not going to bother putting up outside lights this year, then I felt guilty because the kids do enjoy them.




It took a while to get them just right, but it was worth it.

    Gorgeous!!!!! You need to show CBW how to do this. Don't you love having outlets under your eaves? Keeps the dogs and aligators from chewing on the cords.

    Ha ha ha! I got SOOO irritable putting up ours.... every year I say the same thing "(grumble grumble) NEXT YEAR your FATHER is going to do this! (grumble grumble)"

    My pet peeve is going down to the basement and finding lights, that we have saved, that DON'T work.... WHY OH WHY did we bother to save them?!

    How Hilarious, Suz.... I laughed and laughed!!!!! I don't care how carefully I wrap up those darn Christmas lights--they ALWAYS get tangled just like that.... Grrrrrrr!!!! Love your sense of humor.

    I just spit coffee through my nose. H-I-L-A-R-I-O-U-S.

    Ed is a Naval Academy officer, so everything in his life is PRECISION oriented. *Sometimes* it just drives me batty with frustration, but when it comes to Christmas lights, his precise little labels and perfectly folded & separated lights go up in less than 30 minutes every year. Please envy him. I do. I wish I could apply that kind of organization and precision to my life's simplest of tasks...such as laundry. Or eating breakfast. Ha! :-)
