I LOVE Christmas lights.
I love driving around and seeing them sparkling, twinkling and flickering.
I love the feeling of pure joy they bring.
My husband......not so much.
He loves to look at them, he just doesn't want to put them up.
For years the children and I whined and pressured him until a few years ago he finally outlined our roof in lights and added a star to the swamp cooler.
We were happy. So happy!
Last year due to extreme cold he only hung them on the lower part of the house and added 6 lit trees to the grass.
Still we were Happy.
This year....so far nothing.
He has been so busy with the book that the lights are not on his priority list.
I totally understand. I really do.
But, I promise you this.....
By Sunday I will have lights.
How can we not?
Just look at how pretty they are...
Doesn't it just make you smile?
I am also looking forward to an annual trip to Temple Square where I can feast my eyes on lights galore.
I also love the luminaries they have there.
You should go. Tis the Season after all.

SO pretty!
I have always had to do my own outdoor lights. Having said that, I don't have the same issues to contend with that you do. I used to put lights on all the bushes. Then Warren took out the bushes. So I went and bought 2' stakes with hooks for bulbs and now I have a row of lights floating in the air. Neither of those solutions work for climates with snow. Sorry! Good luck getting it done!
