Ah, Christmas

I love Christmas! It IS the most wonderful time of the year. JW and I took advantage of Black Friday. We actually got up at 3am to go shopping. I was a bit surprised at the people that were doing the same and got up even earlier than we did. We spent the whole weekend doing Christmas stuff: shopping on Friday and decorating on Saturday. For the first time since we have gotten married we have Christmas lights on the outside of our home. It is so great to be able to do these things. People really don't know how well they have it if they can just walk around for a bit, never mind climbing ladders and yard work.

Here are pics from our fun-filled, and sometimes frustrating decorating day.

JW got a new ladder. Lights go up. JW cleaning gutters, yuck!

Here are the great results:

Wow! What a transformation! You & JW must have worked for hours...your lights are beautiful. I love the white lights..they are so elegant! I'm glad you had fun last weekend!

Wow, that is a great job! I don't think we are going to get around to decorating the outside of our house this year!
Do other people in your neighborhood decorate too?

You should see some of the houses in our neighborhood. There is one that went all out this year. I love Christmas! Thanks for the great comments.
