Sounds good. What would really be crazy would be if people read one of these, too. Oh no, I went...there.

(maybe it’s not for everyone, but some may be wondering where this old world is headed)

Amen! Why stop at the icing (lights) when you can eat the cake (Bible)?

I love the idea, the electric utilities have been trying to figure out how to keep their revenue up with all these businesses shutting down. I hope they gave the employee who came up with this idea a raise or bonus at least.

I had to leave my house in January before I had time to take my Christmas decorations down (a death in the family in another state).

I did not return to my home until March. I still wanted to share Christmas with family at my home - which do to various persons travels we had not done. I first told them I’d leave Christmas up at my house until we had Christmas together at my house.

Last week I decided to leave the decorations up for the duration of the present “crisis”.

Neighbors have commented. As they drive up a connecting street to get to our little street, they are almost facing my house, with it’s big picture window, and still the lit Christmas tree in view.
