Just add snow!
This time of year, it’s easy to see the world with the wonder of children.
Do you enjoy Christmas lights? Do you hang them?
Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays!

Me Too! We didn’t make the Boulder list of lights this year. We’re conserving energy in more ways than one!

When I was a kid my parents drove us around to see the lights. They were nothing like the displays these days!

I got a little carried away this year, and decided to supplement the usual bush and door trim lights with a couple of tree trunks worth of light wrapping. It turns out if you add enough lights to the end of a string of them, the first section will overheat and die, plunging the whole thing into darkness. Who knew?

We’ve always had that problem. I think you can put up to four or five on an outlet, but we string 14 to 15 in a row and blow fuses like crazy!

I love checking out the Christmas lights. There is a neighborhood near mine that goes so over the top with lights and decorations, it has to be seen to be believed. I can’t even imagine the electric bills!

Very nice glimpse of the tasteful display of decorations in your part of the country, Susie!
Considering that I live in a studio apartment in Manhattan that’s not much bigger than a nose wart, no, I do not hang lights. But, my building has a new first floor tenant who asked for, and was granted, permission to hang lights. My Irish Catholic landlady was all for it as visions of Santa, reindeer and snowflakes danced in her head.
Now we’re decorated big-time for Hanukkah! That’s a first in the 32 years I’ve resided here. Naturally, I love it. Bring on the dreidels! It’s Christmastime for the Jews where I live! http://vimeo.com/97189077

That is hilarious! We stopped at Best Buy to say hi to our son on Thanksgiving night. I was amazed at all the foreign people buying all the deals. It was like a UN meeting. They were out celebrating all the discounts!
