I love to decorate the yard for Christmas! I have a couple of those big inflatable decorations that look like big snow globes with Santa and/or Frosty inside them. I have a couple of wire forms with lights on them that look like reindeers. And of course I like to line the rooftop and windows with strings of lights. I like to hang a big wreath on the front door, too.
My wife fusses at me, though, because she is trying to save money and she is always turning all of my decorations off by 8pm. She says we are all home, so what do we care what the outside of the house looks like? I can’t seem to impress on her that I want to entertain the neighbors and the passers-by. I think she is being just a little bit too scroogy for me! When I point that out to her, she doesn’t seem to impressed and suggests that maybe I should take over the duty of paying the bills and figuring out how to pay the electric bill when that comes in!
