Christmas Lights

Shot through our laundry room window...
and through some frost on the window!

Well, Christmas is upon us but we are so far behind in everything that I highly doubt the Christmas Spirit will catch up with us until sometime in January or February.

We did manage to get some Christmas lights strung up outside. We don't have as many as anticipated, but we have enough. Actually, very few of our neighbors have any Christmas lights this year... our street is unusually dark. Very strange... perhaps we are all in the same boat this year...

Stringing up Christmas lights outdoors was a bit frustrating this year. First off, the weather was frigid. That always makes for a frustrating time. Next, approximately 1/2 of our Christmas lights went into the garbage this year because they were no longer lighting up. Frustrating, huh?

We ended up using all of our indoor light sets just to fill some of the emptiness outside. So, now we need to get out to buy some Christmas lights for indoors, especially for our Christmas tree! Of course, we haven't even begun to shop yet this year so I suppose we can pick up the lights while we are searching for presents. I hope there are still a bunch of clear Christmas light sets available... we need a lot of them!

Anyway, here are a few photos that I shot last night after it snowed most of the day. I didn't feel like trekking outside in the frigid weather with my camera gear and a tripod so these are shot from inside the warm house!

I'll post more when we are ready for Christmas and have the Christmas tree up and decorated... perhaps sometime in January... hmmm... maybe February, if all goes well!
