christmas lights

i recommend going up to Thoroughbred St. in Alta Loma to see the Christmas light displays. it boggles my mind that you basically have to sign a contract that if you were to buy a house on that street, you have to do some insane Chrsitmas light display for oodles of people to drive by every night until Christmas - every year. it's lunacy. and the electric bills must be through the roof.

i put up my retro big bulb Christmas lights on the house last weekend. Rita and I both love the simple look of these lights. they look nice and add a really nice quality of light to the front walk every night.

putting the lights up was a bit scary. i had to lean over the peak of the roof with a staple gun to staple the cord to the bottom of the facia boards. i don't remember it being that scary last year. not very fun.

we happen to have an 8' tall inflatable snowman in the yard too. the boys like to watch him (it) get inflated each night as he "comes alive." it's fun to watch their eyes.
