Oh Yes We Did - Put up the Deer that is... and the Candy Canes!

Our neighborhood is not very big on Christmas decorations. Partly because it's a very jewish neighborhood, and partly because most of our neighbors probably think that they are better than the kitschy decorations of other neighborhoods. The couple houses that have strung up lights have obviously used a professional decorator to do so.. But not us, oh no... My husband thinks one of the main reasons we gave up on living in the city and bought ourselves this money pit is that we can do stuff like put up kitschy deers and elves and what nots on our front yard for the kids to enjoy. He is adamant to put up lights each year, and insists on doing it himself. But then, I kind of agree. What the heck is a house for if not for hanging up some lights at Christmas time. I only stop short on the inflatables. That might be reaching too far into a strange territory. So let's leave well enough alone and enjoy our yard with the candy canes, reindeer and the sleigh. Merry Christmas to one and for all.
