So, with owning a house comes putting up Christmas lights. And with putting up Christmas lights comes shopping for Christmas lights. Jay and I both went on a wild goose chase this weekend for C7 red and clear lights...apparently, everyone else did the same thing BEFORE US! We went to Hobby Lobby twice, three different Lowe's, Home Depot, Target and (yes, it got this bad) WAL MART! And, to our dismay, Wal Mart was actually the only place that pulled through...
We wanted red & white lights to go around the house and the flower bed/sidewalk, but it turns out they don't sell red & white lights (although I am pretty sure Bill and Lisa have them every year...). So we ( well, Jay) settled with buying strings of red lights, strings of clear lights and red replacement bulbs and actually unscrewing them and screwing them back together so that they were red, clear, red, clear, etc. He was determined...
But the finished project looks great! Best house on the block if I do say so myself...which is pretty impressive considering we were Christmas light virgins. (Please note the wreaths in the window...those were my contribution.)
