Tis' the season to be JOLLY???




So much for starting out our Christmas season being JOLLY! After Thanksgiving is over and we are done stuffing our guts with leftovers of Thanksgiving dinner, we are then prepared to make the trip up into the attic to get out our 6 bins of Christmas decorations. One by one we take them out, trying to figure out which one has "what" in it. We finally find all the strands of lights and decide let's decorate the outside first. We are all happily in the Christmas spirit. Look how beautiful Chad and Lorelei decorated it. It was DANG good! Happiness fills the air, we are so excited that the tree is finally finished. We go inside to relax and about 15 minutes we look outside our window to see our beautiful tree, lightless! What the hell? The next day Chad tries this again, we go buy new lights, string them all around and beauty fills the streets again. We go inside, look outside our window about 15 minutes later and IT'S GONE. So after 4 attempts of decorating that DANG tree, we are throwing in the towel and saying, "Bah HUMBUG."

That sucks about your lights! Like everyone else, I can't believe the shorts. When James did our outside lights he was wearing multiple layers and was still cold.

Okay, the pictures of your warm front yard are making me so jealous. I remember the good old days when my mom would tell me to put on my "winter coat" because it was going to be 60 degrees outside. No fair! Merry Christmas anyway :)
