I have to say that I love going to see Christmas lights every year. There are a few areas in our city where the entire neighborhood decorates and it’s like a winter wonderland (one of the neighborhoods actually call their display Winter Wonderland!). It doesn’t snow here or even get too too cold so this is one way the kids and I get to think of an actual winter, with snow. 

This is a picture from one of the local displays

At home we kind of do the basics. We have large white bulbs strung along the roof’s edge all along the front of the house and we have a little reindeer that lights up as well as a snowman. We live on a hill and the way the house is set up you can’t really see that part of the lawn any time whether you’re going up the hill or down the hill so really those additions are just for our own enjoyment. In the end I’m not exactly a Grinch, where I put nothing on the house, but I’m not a Griswold either. 🙂

Are they Grinch-y or just funny and lazy?  lol

So what are you? Do you put up lights on the house for Christmas? Are you like Clark Griswold in Christmas Vacation or are you a Grinch and don’t decorate at all? (which is good too, sometimes! lol)
