The question is, do y'all put lights up on the outside of your house? I have never before lived in a place suitable to do so, but this year, I finally have. I have icicle lights hanging from the gutter all the way across the front of the house, standard lights wrapped around the porch railings/supports and banisters, a bit of garland on the porch, and some strategically placed red bows. I also have, right smack in the floor-to-ceiling window on the front of my house, an outstanding Christmas tree. I've been taking study breaks to go stand in the street and look at my house (seriously).
What's the general feeling on outside decoration around here?
I had every intention of getting lights up this weekend (icicle lights on the front arbor, standard lights around the roof of the house, and lighted garland on the porch bannisters) until it snowed/rained for 3 1/2 days straight. I love me some Christmas lights, but not enough to navigate a slanted roof in driving rain. Hopefully it'll stay at least moderately dry next weekend so I can actually get them up. In the meantime, I did get a live wreath to hang on the door (and it looks mighty fine, thank you very much).
