Saturday After Thanskgiving

Well, it's the Saturday after Thanksgiving. It's time to do the traditional: put up the Christmas decorations. As each year goes by, I seem to end up with more and more outdoor lights. I'm not sure I can get them all up in one day any more, so I'll have to start before lunch. This year the neighbors seem to have put up a challenge.

Those who have read here before may remember my pictures from last year -- and the candy canes lining the street. Well, the folks to my left have put up their decorations already, and they've lined THEIR house with candy canes. Now my lighted canes are taller than theirs, but they might have a few more than I do. This simply will not do.

I think a trip to Lowes may be in order this afternoon after the decorations are up...

1 I have a 2 acre front yard wanta help do something with it?
Right now I am down in the back and can't. So I have resigned myself to enjoying others this year.

3 Loved the snow globe so much, we just got one. Are they expensive to run??

4 That is too funny. Just don't go the way of the Griswold's.

5 You'll HAVE to keep us posted please. Since I can't decorate this year, I'm gonna have to live it vicariously.

6 2 acres, Patty? Give me a blank check, and I'll hook you up GOOD!

Teach, come on! You can do more!

Sam, I never measured the amount of draw with the snow globe. I only run mine until about 10pm, so it only runs about 4 hours a night. With a 2-prong outlet, I can't imagine it draws much.

Cheryl, the Griswalds are my heroes. The only reason I don't put up that many lights is because I haven't had enough money to buy that many (yet).

And Tammi, you bet. The first setup is out there, but I need to stop by the store either later this afternoon or tomorrow to pick up "just a couple" more things...

9 I have had my lights up since the Monday before Thanksgiving this year. That is a first, but I felt the mood come on early this year for some reason.
