All my Christmas light strings and cords were a-tangle, with burnouts everywhere - and me with a day or two running around to get replacements and make repairs...so I said 'F*** it!' and I threw the lot in the garbage in a fit of rage! I told the wife she could do anything she wanted - but no lights! <br /><br />So we put up tons of green boughs and pine decorations, red ribbons and only one small string up in the apple tree out front...and I'll be damned if our place wasn't the best looking one on the street! It was like looking at a young Ingrid Bergman in a well tailored outfit amidst a gaggle of buffalo-butted Detroit city whores! The contrast was striking!<br /><br />I'm gonna do it again next year - and to hell with the Christmas lights.Glen Filthiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03256741311142364722noreply@blogger.com
