Xmas light's and my wife are going to send me over the edge

[noirsphynx]

Sounds like your wife and I could be best friends I love decorating for X-mas too but at least I do most of it myself.

Ok now I dont feel to bad, I would hate to live on a street that dictates what if any lights you put up. That is one reason I live in the country.

And theres another thing we LIVE IN THE COUNTRY, who the hell is going to see all these light but us I mean really.

Don't get me wrong I like to do the lights and stuff at christmas time for my wife, she love's it so but this year was bad timing as I have been so freakin busy that I have only managed 3 days off in 8 weeks and most nights I dont get into the house until 7 or 8 pm.

But the wife is happy.

Around here we have a tree, that's it. BBAAAHHHHHH HUMBUG!

I use the excuse that lights are too expensive to run, she points out the amount of electricity the tanks use. I run out of logical arguments and head to the shop until it blows over.

This year I put up a string of 50 lights and it covers the entire front of my tiny place with some extra. Livin' small has it's benefits!

I leave my porch light on all December....

I see who wears the pants in your family

We just put a couple of bows up and left it at that. Our lighting budget is consumed by our fish tanks

[lastlight]

I have to tell my wife the tank is off limits for hanging crap off of. I do have a string of lights wrapping around a pillar by the tank that I let her plug into my tank's dj strip since there were no plugs in sight. I get a littl nervous about her flipping that thing on and off lol.

This is what my wife does every Christmas. The village is about 8' wide and 4' high, and has 26 electrical plug-ins. It even has a train that runs under the mountain, a ski gondola that goes back and forth, ice skaters that go around and around, and some hobos warming themselves by a fire. When it's lit up at night it really is quite spectacular.
She puts hours and hours into setting it up. My contribution is getting the boxes down for her and making Rum & Egg Nogs.

I don't do any decoration at all in my house. Not even put up Xmas tree, how sad!!!!
