Its Only 365 Days
349/365: CHRISTMAS TREE!
15 DEC 13
aNNNNNDDDDDDD she's done. Our glorious real live tree is set up and ready for display. I remember moving into this house and noticing the recessed light in just this one spot and wondering what it was, but I figured out it must be for a tree, and how wonderful it is. There is a light switch which specifically controls the plug down below as well, so you flip the switch rather then plug and unplug the lights each day. And look what my favorite ornament EVER has done to the roof. My disco ball ornament under the light has cast this cool pattern all over the ceilings and walls. I love it. Every year, I buy one new round ornament for the tree. This year, I haven't found one yet. I was looking for a camera ornament, even though I already have one, but I couldn't find one. I did find an awesome buzz beer one from the Simpsons, but I have a thing about the promotion of alcohol and cigarettes, I just don't, so even though its fictional, I passed on it.
Love this tree. It's so beautiful, and is like the best part of the holiday season. The HOA (home owners association) is having their annual decoration contest, and I know I wouldn't win b/c I just have one strand of star lights across the porch, but my neighbor has Black Wonderland over there all over her yard, and I didn't really see anyone else with anything going UNTIL I drove round, and there was this house that was flashing green, then red, then the lights on the roof, then on the lawn, then on the door, and I thought, show offs!!! LOL. The prize is only a 50 dollar gift card to Lowes, so I mean, nothing to go out and spent 90 dollars on trying out outfit your house, but it would have been nice to have our block win it.
Surprise, surprise to me, the usual corner guy who puts up lights has been totally MIA this year. It used to be just he and I doing the lights thing on our block before the family moved in next door, but he has nothing out. Three of our other neighbors have put up wreaths, including the newest neighbor that moved in probably 2 months ago, but no one has seen. Literally we came up with this plan from the lady yesterday at the hospital to bring over Christmas cookies to all our neighbors, just so we can innocently find out who they are. I see cars in and out, I see an x-mas wreath, but we've yet to actually see them. Oompa Loompas much?
