Up On the Housetop

When we got home from Thanksgiving the first thing Cayden wanted to do was decorate the outside of the house.  We let him get out a bunch of stuff to decorate the porch but Don did not have time until December 5th to get the stuff up on the roof.  He really does not like dealing with my twinkle-icicle lights that twinkle when they feel like it and then they might blink instead of twinkle or flash or even do the wave across the top of my house just for spite.  That Saturday afternoon we jumped in the car about 3:30 and ran to Walmart in Mesquite for the sole purpose of rectifying this yearly stress-fest.  I lowered my standards to the basic multi-colored non twinkle, non-blink lightbulbs.  Don likes to go all Griswold but those twinkle lights are about his undoing.  I love my Christmas lights and my sweet husband who makes sure that the Christmas Nazi and his mom have a very merry and bright holiday season.
