Would You?

Would you put up Christmas lights?  I went searching for extravagance and had to enter a Christian domain to do so..... our sad little mulberry tree is festooned with little lights.  Now to take them down.....

Christmas in the Burbs

notables:

1.  neighbours shovelling out the driveways and comparing progress

2.  comparing christmas lights

3.  comparing piles of Christmas garbage

4.  comparing who walks over next door to drop off a card or a plate of goodies

5.  and then there's me - I do none of the above.
