Christmas Decorations

My oldest son and I put up the outside lights today.

That is two years in a row. I think that's a record for us. Pretty sad, but true. We never miss a year festooning our indoor (read easy to reach) spaces with so many decorations you might want to puke, but the outdoor roofline, that's a different story.

I sent my son out his bedroom window, and he clipped the lights in place while I directed him from below. I think he liked the opportunity to go on the roof without getting yelled at for it, so he didn't complain about being put in mortal danger.

We'll see if we can do it again next year, and run the record to a whopping three years in a row.
