The neighbors are mounting ladders and setting their homes ablaze with lights and Santas. Here's an amusing piece about one man's commitment to being a colored lights man.
Me, I feel like I have enough on my plate already. If I'm going to labor on my home, I feel like the results should last four to five years, not three weeks. If I were to mount a five foot, rotating Santa on my lawn, it would just have to stay there until the kids went to college. Ditto for the reindeer on the roof.
