"As the twig is bent, so grows the tree." Unless you think that one Christmas ornament is enough to cause that bough to bow...
Now this is what I'm talking about when I talk about Christmas lights. Put eight or nine strands of these colorful dudes around the house, and bedeck the tree with almost that many of these, only in white, and you have the sort of house where Bing Crosby would come and tap dance with Danny F. Kaye!
This might be Dasher or Dancer checking out the neighborhood lights.
We were so lucky around here to have a night pre-Christmas snow last weekend. first time in forever, it seemed. Not enough to snarl the roads or keep the Amazon trucks from the swift completion of their appointed rounds, just enough to make everything Christmas-pretty!
Someone needs to write a song about how pretty outdoor Christmas light decorations are when snow-covered.
Used to see these on house after house, front doors with giant Santa heads, all pink-cheeked and merry. I always wondered where people stored these Brobdingnagian faces. I guess the attic?
Just before returning home from a really long with, ole Santa stops for a dozen honeydips to share with the Mrs.
Do you have your special Christmas glasses and mugs and plates and dishes all set?
I must be the last person on earth to see this. You don't really need ribbon anymore to decorate your packages. Grab that wide Sharpie!
And is this not the cutest thing you've seen today, a homemade Stocking!?
