Christmas Lights

Well, it's that time of year for many of us to put up the lights. Some put up a few hundred out while some just a tree if at all any. I truly love looking at lights regardless of the display size. I for one, tend to go a little overboard with my display.

I've had my lights up a month now. I turned them on Thanksgiving nite. Climbing old, creeky, shaky, wooden ladders with the feet resting on ice, I did not think was a good idea. I've fallen twice on the ice in my driveway....once, fortunately, I landed on my head. I cracked the ice and got a very bad case of vertigo, but the outside of my head was OK. The second time the tendon ripped off the bone in my right shoulder; I'm living with that now.

But I'm with you...I really enjoy Christmas lights and will put them up as long as I can.

Lights are up and running

Mrs Griswald supervised the hanging of the light prior to Thanksgiving.

Just a few across the front, with a couple of stand up ones to complete the package. We didn't turn them on until after Thanksgiving.

Nothing like Zing's setup, but it makes Mrs Griswald happy.
