What is so special about lights at Chickasa, OK, Mick?
It's always mesmerizing to watch other people burn up electricity but the bonus of the evening is to have your wife criticize you for being lazy and not decorating like all the people who hired people to decorate their yards.

You have hit the nail right squarely on the head, Greg. Tradition that has endured for years. It's nice but....get off my lawn, bah humbug, etc.

Got it, Mick. Glo and I have cruised the neighborhood for a few years after a trip to DQ.

I got my string of lights around the eaves. Good enough.
We have a few homes in the area that go all out.

Be that way, Greg, you do know there are little kids in India without lights, right?

Afternoon Woods! The fire dept is coming around this evening with Santa to our neighborhood. That'll be around 5 or 6.
