Really, nothing's changed.
Oh wait.
Except one thing.
For years, my excuse for not participating in outdoor Christmas decorating revolved around the fact that I, as a retail manager, worked approximately 26 hours a day pretty much every day from Black Friday until New Year's Day.
A few months ago, as you might recall, I quit my job to be a full time stay at home Mama to my boys.
Well, shit. There went that excuse.
The truth is, my idea of perfect holiday decorating looks something like this:
However, for the first time ever, I have adorned the exterior of 154 Hidden Court. With lights. And weird fake spiral-y Christmas trees. And more effing lights. And oddly, every time I walk into a store, I gravitate toward the giant snowglobes. Must. Resist.
So now, 154 Hidden Court looks sort of like some elves drank too much eggnog and vomited up lights on my house:
I can only imagine that an Easter egg tree isn't far off...
For a few years, I would buy some type of lawn decoration every year. Spiral trees, light up Santa, etc. Then, every Christmas I remember that my house has NO external outlets. Yep, all those decorations and no way to actually use them unless I want to stuff a bunch of snow-proof, heavy-duty extension cords under my front door.

@ Stacy, Sadly, my house has PLENTY of exterior outlets. More than plenty. I can see that this has the potential to get out of hand very quickly :)
