Yes!  You read that right...I'm finally losing my virginity!  My outdoor Christmas light virginity that is...

Yeah, Yeah - my heart grew two sizes and I'm bursting with cheer or whatever.  Actually, I've always kind of wanted to in theory...but apathy is so enticing to me and laziness being such a core part of my being.  But as I was in the driveway last night waiting for the garage door to open I looked up and to what did my wondering eyes appear?  No, not Santa, nor a star in the east...but LIGHT CLIPS already fastened on the eaves lining the house.

As those of you who track my every utterance know we moved into this house a few months ago and I never noticed until last night.  It seemed more than provident...it seems like a command to adorn our house with shiny, glowy, colored beams of happiness.

There is no peer pressure, and if there was I am far too strong to succumb...it's not like smoking in high school.  But in our neighborhood it's well over 50% who are doing the outdoor thing and I am sporting ridiculous grins of happiness at some of my neighbors efforts and it would be nice to contribute.  

I am well aware that it won't take much to turn Mr. Buffy into Clark Griswald...I'm kind of counting on that because it seems like a lot of work and he's better suited to that.

Edited to add it's super hard to position a photo of up close Christmas lights without them looking like props from a porno.  Nice innocent picture, but in the framing of the cover photo above kind of a challenge.
