Who has their Christmas lights up yet?

Fake trees are great... We honestly didn't even take the decorations off it from 2 years ago... just shoved it in a corner downstairs and left it there. we just had to pull it out, shake the dust off, plug it in, and voila'...

No lights. We're out in the woods. We'd only be doing it to entertain the wild critters.

The wife goes a little crazy on the inside of the house, however. She pulls boxes of crap out and covers every nook and cranny with Xmas Xcrement, and watches the Hallmark channel Xmas movies non-stop.

I spend a lot of December time in my office. I'm thinking of installing a liquor cabinet up here.

This sounds like my wife have we more xmas crap than walmart & she always misses something that we find in March
these are the lights and this is my helper

Peacock Lane was always my favorite from the time I was a kid(66 now). I remember a couple of years in the early 90's when we took our kids there and walked it,, there was one house close to Belmont on the west side of the street the owner had his restored '57 Chevrolet all lit up. Also remember watching the Christmas Ships Parade for a few years from a friends houseboat on Multnomah Channel. Now my wife puts up lights on the inside of the windows which people can see from outside.

The Mrs has the lights and most of the interior decorations done. There is no reason to string them outside as no one would see them, so I won't be doing that.

And I thought I was the only lazy Merry season kinda guy... A lot of other things worth doing than tryin to keepin up with the younger neighbors with kid laborors. We've paid our dues....

Hey, I'm over 50 and I prefer to work alone as much as I can. I would NEVER use a kid to put up exterior lights on my house these days.... the lights are generally heavier than a smart-phone and they may strain something picking them up, plus they wouldn't know which end to start on when attempting to climb a ladder.

Life is tough but tougher when you try to keep up with the Jones's.....

It's not so tough when you ARE the Jones's.....
