Christmas Lights


This morning Barry and I (mostly Barry) put up some Christmas Lights outside on our trees. I asked Barry to get a timer for the lights so we wouldn't have to go out every day in the snow and cold and plug them in. It is sooooo nice! At 5:00 the lights came on and at 11:00 they will turn off. I don't know why we didn't do this earlier in our lives! We have colored lights. Those are the lights I like the best because I grew up with having Christmas trees with colored lights. Back then they were the BIG lights not the little lights we have today. Christmas is such a happy time! I love it! But I do wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! In Germany the Kristkindel Markts (know the spelling isn't right) begin the first or second week in November. They don't have Thanksgiving at the end of November so they can start their Christmas season early. I like that! I want to celebrate the Christmas season as long as possible. Of course we can always celebrate Christmas year round...but I do love the lights, decorations, food, giving, etc.
