Ace Enjoying The Christmas Lights
One of the good things about being a Dad (at least that is the excuse I use) is that you get to do some pretty cool stuff…like hang Christmas lights. Yeah, it’s cool if you like hanging off the edge of the roof, dangling off of a ladder 20 feet in the air, and spendig countless hours going through that strand of lights that doesn’t work because the very last bulb that you decide to check is burned out. And I can’t help but mention this is all done in the coldest of seasons…Winter.
Now, I’m not bitching. I really do like to hang Christmas lights. I take a lot of pride in how the house gets decorated for the Holiday Seasons.
I’ve never been a big fan of colored lights. My mom always bought the clear bulbs…and so the tradition lives on. Something about the brightness of a well decorated house sends shivers down my spine…or maybe it is the 20 degree weather these days. 😀
Now, while our house isn’t quite spine shivering worthy, I am proud of the job that I have done. But, I am sure that the neighbors across the street are going to have to buy some extra thick curtains just to be able to sleep at night. 😀
Ace came outside and ran around the yard tripping on the extension cords strung to and fro, but it was a bit to cold for him being less than two years old…not to mention he is starting to get over a pretty bad cold that I would hate to see return to full strength tomorrow. Maybe next year he can help hang the lights…now that would be cool! 😀
