I started in July but I could only afford to turn them on for the five minutes it took to take the photo




...Well at least I didn't miss a bit on the roof.

I must be acclimatising. I actually got up the ladder last week, when it hit 10 degrees, and put all our lights up. I've only done the up-the-ladder routine once in minus 10 and that was enough for me and my fingers, thank you. I get it.

We have no extension leads sorted out to plug them in yet and that definitely should not happen until December. Half my neighbourhood is lit up, and it does look pretty, and I do love Xmas lights - but just not 6 or 8 weeks worth - they loose their special-ness!

I think someone on this site once hinted that many Canadians view them more as "winter" lights - hence the reason they are aglow from mid November till mid January. I dunno.
