Keeping Up with The Joneses

Now that we live in an actual neighborhood, we have noticed that lots of people decorate for the holidays. We were taken aback during the month of October to be surrounded on all sides by homes with Halloween lights, sounds, and decor. Our home had 3 jack-o-lanterns on the porch, which quickly became 2 after one was squashed on the road Halloween night. Probably because we didn't have our Halloween lights on! So, we knew we had to go the extra mile for Christmas. Here is the Christmas light master and his eager helper working away.


And after 3 days, several trips to Lowes, here are the results on the front side of our home:





Shortly after our lighting ceremony we were startled when all the lights went out! Apparently our electrical system has "rules" about how much you can plug into the outlets at any one time. But with some clever thinking, I am happy to report that all of our lights are shining bright with no circuit breaks. Now, about that power bill......

Nice Lights

Looks great! We had to switch to LED lights because if you had too many plugged in and then tried to vacuum, all the lights in the house went out! Jason might have gone with the no vacuuming during the holidays but that didn't fly with me!
