I am amazed you would go to the trouble of such an intricate lighting display. How on earth did you know which strand to cross with another strand to form that extravaganza?
This is the first year I can remember that I didn't have to cook a Thanksgiving dinner. Last year the ultra liberal sister-in-law and husband came and I had baked Cornish Game Hens glazed in Apricot sauce, wild rice, dressing and home made whole cranberry sauce, and cold asparagus dripped on top with honey mustard dressing.
One time some years ago, a gentleman came to our house for dinner and I made those Game Hens and later he said he dripped some of the Apricot sauce on his shirt and later licked it off because it was so fine. I use a French jar of Apricot Preserves and it's not anything like our US thin crappy Apricot Preserves.
So, what did I have this time by myself? A Hungry Man frozen turkey dinner. It even had some cranberry something in one of the sections.
I bought a Marie Callendar's roasted turkey tv dinner..oh, wait, they don't call them tv dinners anymore. I ate leftover pizza instead, and spent the day unpacking Christmas stuff, and started decorating.
As for the lighting, it's just a natural talent. I took it out of the box, wadded it up, and hung it up on the hook. That's how single guys decorate. ;)

Some of my patients on the substance abuse ward told me that William’s Lectric shave, filtered through white bread makes a delightful preprandial apéritif.
I think it’s easier than the whole crushing the grapes thing.
