Ahh, I remember the days in long ago North Dakota, when the Christmas season rolled around and Dad in his big heavy coat and overshoes and gloves and a cap with earflaps would be outside in the snow and cold putting up our annual holiday lights.
That just had me thinking, "I wonder if that's why we didn't have one of those extravaganzas with colored lights covering the house and inflatable snowmen and reindeer and Santas and elves and . . ."
Could have been.
Happy and safe holiday season, everyone!
Ha! Well we braved the ladder. Wrapped the extension cord around the drain pipe. Swore we won't do this again next year. Have cuphooks embedded in the beam for the snowflakes. Once it's up we love it as do the neighbors. Wish you still lived in the hood!
ReplyDeleteWe loved it up there but at our age being closer to medical offices, a hospital, grocery stores and the library is more important to us.
DeleteNo lights down here, just that Christmas tree on the roof up on the land.
ReplyDeleteWow, Andy isn't still going up to the roof to install it every year, is he?
