It is SO sad because they point to the LIGHT who came into the world to dispel darkness. I do not have mine up yet, but I can't wait--they just won't be up as long as usual!Stickhorsecowgirlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04167094045033324094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15437418.post-53972790045613275392008-12-10T00:31:00.000+00:002008-12-10T00:31:00.000+00:00We have noticed that less people are decorating th...We have noticed that less people are decorating the outsides of their houses with lights here too. I think it is the bad economy. I got some LED ones that don't use much energy. The kids love lights and I wouldn't have the heart not to put them on for a couple hours every night.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with all you have to get done.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15437418.post-40901204625575653222008-12-09T07:38:00.000+00:002008-12-09T07:38:00.000+00:00There is a house on Forest Drive that has the most...There is a house on Forest Drive that has the most spectacular Christmas lights - the whole front of the house is done up and it looks wonderful.
