Hello Everyone!
Yes, I probably have used this title before for a post but due to the fact that it is SNOWING outside right now, I thought it appropriate. Anyway, as I sit typing before you, I am currently listening to The Nutcracker Ballad Suite (which is 30 minutes long) on full blast, enjoying my newly dyed brown hair, and thinking up clever things to put in today's blog. OH! Before I jump into the material for today's post, I've decided to do Monday, Wednesday and Friday posts instead of daily posts. That way I get more time to think about what I want to write, and you get a day off from laughing so hard that you get stitches...that IS why you need a day off isn't it?! I'm funny, I promise!!
Okay, I thought of a subject that would be nice to talk about. We've talked about the decorations that are put out for Christmas time, however, I'd like to specifically talk about LIGHTS! My roommate and I have a string of pastel Christmas lights over both of our closets and they just bring life into the room. Of course, we can't sleep with them on due to the fact that they are incredibly bright, and a fire hazard; however, whenever I am in the room, I make a point to plug them in and back in the Christmas-y joy. Sometimes if I'm writing a paper at my desk, I'll just glance over at them and end up spending a full five minutes just staring at the wall.
But enough about my measly string of lights. Do you all remember that movie that was really bad about the family that wanted to have their house seen from outer space with all of their lights? Well, in the future, I want to be one of those houses. I will make it a point in the beginning of November to stock up on all the newest light fixtures and have a team of people come out to affix my house with lights. In fact, I aspire to be like one of the families that lives in my neighborhood. They wrap ALL of the very tall and thin trees in their yard with lights. Now, I'm not talking just a few wraps around the trunk, I'm talking tree-made-out-of-lights kind of light show. Every time I drive by there at night I just want to stop and stare. Here's what it looks like:
Yeah, there's trees underneath those lights. It's a little bit ridiculous, but I love it. However, the family doesn't do the lights themselves so I don't think they would get the same satisfaction and excitement as my family does when we put up our meager strings of lights on the roof.
One last thing about lights: WHAT'S WITH THEM?! One light burns out and the whole strand doesn't work normally?! What is that?! And then if you turn the lights a certain way they blink?! WHAT?! I'm just confused by the whole thought process. Some times the package doesn't even say: "will flash." It's stupid...but I love lights too much not to use them.
That's it!
Until next time,
Lasagna Claus
P.S.- 47 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS! The Christmas Can-Can has BEGUN!
