Christmas In July

From Christmas 2017, what would turn out to be our final Christmas at the old house, although I didn’t know it then. 😭😭😭

Yet another thing that *I* keep in mind when looking at potential new “forever” homes – where do I hang the lights, where do I plug them in, and how many can I put up before I blow the circuit breaker panel?

The “really really nice on the inside but outside it’s just a box on an acre-plus of dirt with zero landscaping” places not only don’t have anyplace to hang lights, they also tend to be so far out in the boonies that no one will ever see them. Yeah, I’m the guy who, when meeting a neighbor from down the street for the first time, goes “YEAH! That’s me!” when they say, “Oh, you’re the lunatic with a gazillion Christmas lights?” (I will also note that many of them who say that are also putting up lights and more lights than before after the first year or two when we moved in. I think of it as being a good influence, leading by example, that sort of thing…)
