Very much like it would have gone in my home. Eerily so.. but, super funny to read about someone else!~

Holly - My BFF Betsy was showing me some LED lights and telling me how they're the current trend. But I was, like, the last person on earth to even get a cell phone, so I'm behind the times. ;) I'm so checking these out though!

JenJen - The ones I saw had several different colors ... just like regular light bulbs! Soft white, yellowish, etc. I will be sure not to get "sizzle-your-retinas" white. :)

Jen - Why is that? Something like that happens to us every single year. In fact, it's why we had to buy new lights LAST year! Urrrghhh!

Alex - I laughed when I saw the hair dryer too. I laughed even harder when I watched Curtis actually put it into action!

Julie - Thank you, thank you. I think it makes for a simply stunning windowscape. I totally should've been an interior decorator. ;)

Mom - We STILL haven't gotten more lights! Oh well, it'll give us something to look forward to when we come home.

Me - The hair dryer was Curtis's idea. But honestly? As long as he stood there with the damn thing, I'm not sure if IT did the trick or if it just had time to air dry. ;) Happy holiday to you too!

Christmas trees are notoriously a PITA to get up EVERY year, but I'd say you're off to a rockin' start! I can honestly admit that I would NEVER have thought of using the hair-dryer. . . and after all, it wasn't even Thanksgiving yet. I LOVE the ribbon. Total Martha Stewart. Rock on, you!

Happy Holiday!

LOL I hope you get more lights and finish the tree before you come to Missouri. I hate the thought of you returning home to a half-decorated Christmas tree!

And the ribbon certainly adds a touch of class, as does the cat! ;o)

So much for having the house all pretty for when you return! But...that ribbon in the window ROCKS!

I am totally putting off the decorations too...unknotting the lights scares me!

This post seriously made me laugh out loud. I can't tell you how many times that has been me. Get all the lights on the tree and half or none of them work even though they all worked just a minute or two ago.

I meant blinding.
Shit, see? I can't even type with all these spots in front of my eyes!

I grabbed some LED lights this year and wanna know what?
They're blue.
Like they are SO WHITE they are blue.
Oh
And bliding.

2009-11-25T08:39:46.344-08:00

LED lights my friend, they're the future! Also? They cost almost NOTHING in electricity so you can leave the tree lit ALL DAY LONG w/o feeling guilty.

This year I even saw SOLAR LED lights for outdoors which means NO extension cords.

They do cost a bit more upfront but round here they're not bad.

2009-11-25T08:20:32.734-08:00

Michele - Thanks! Thinking of you laughing so hard is making me laugh, too. ... And then I turn around and look at the Christmas tree, and laugh even harder. ;)

Nan - SO true! Excellent point! But a word of advice: I'd find someone else's Christmas to vicariously live through if I were you, 'cause ours so far isn't looking so good. LOL!

LOL! This is the BEST Christmas story ever. I've got tears rolling down my face, I'm laughing so hard!

You poor thing! I hope the rest of your holiday goes much, much better than this! :-)

A cat in the tree is far better than a mouse in the tree, correct? I can't even put my tree up 'cause I don't even know where we'll be living then - here or there. Isn't that sad?? I will live vicariously through your Christmas - so post "after" pictures for me very soon. Like NOW?
