Let there be light....

We have shown a modicum of restraint this year in our holiday outside decos...gone is the huge inflatable snow globe, banished to the back are the reindeer, gifted to Ed and Deb, our good neighbors in Ft. Myers, is our 5 foot lit snowman...and we are left with this modest display of lighting. We are a bit different in our neighborhood of white icicle lights with our candy cane striped palm trees in the front and our healthy dash of color amongst the twinkles.

Today we hoist our big Santa, who shorted out on us last year and no longer sings or dance, onto the rock fountain above the pool...we've been talking about getting Ol' St. Nick in place for over a week and I think today is the day.
