So, I put up some Christmas lights, first time ever and I’ve lived here 6 years. All the old timers on the street keep saying out loud how nice the street “usta look”…and one by one everyone here under the age forty is buckling under the pressure…now off buying lights, staple guns, and extension cords. I went for what I knew best, the big ol’ C9’s…the screw in bulbs…no racing or blinking, just a sure and steady holiday glow. (Once the rain stops, I might borrow my neighbor’s ladder and try putting the lights up over my standing five foot limit.)
