Show Us Your Christmas Lights!
Putting up the lights the day after Thanksgiving is a family tradition. Here is how we did:
 and the back of the house...  Show us yours!

Last years efforts - I really don't like to see them at full effect till something like 10 Dec - then I'm a purist, at least 3 trees stay lit until Epiphany (Three Wise Men) on or about Jan 8th :
 I was wondering if I would be inspired again this year and haven't started yet. Too early Christmas stuff makes me grumpy. Certainly the most effort I've applied in many years. I even looked into those music synchronization systems (nahhhh!) : from Richard Holdman on Vimeo. If you poke around this guy has a video tour of how it is put together. BTW - his homeowners assoc banned last years efforts!

The pool was heated to 90 for the kids to swim in over Thanksgiving. Had visitors and swimming during Thanksgiving is another tradition. Air temp was in the 40s though. As for the water purity - I am a fanatic about that water. That water is potable!

For as long as I can remember, I've been putting up fewer and fewer lights every year.
So next weekend I'll put my lights up. Both of them. |
