Bonjour

Dans un cadre chaleureux
L’Amitié est une maison
Accueillante et agréable
Il suffit d’ouvrir la porte de son cœur
Pour offrir le meilleur de soi-même
Je te souhaite une bonne journée

Une belle fin semaine

Gros bisous

Une rose d’amitié à t’offrir

Bernard

  It has to be some alien force. I would think Santa Claus has enough influence to put a stop to it.

  Well these new ones all nice and neat in the box will be no problem. But wait till next year. No matter how you store them the wires and and such will be wrapped around each other like a million little snakes trying to keep warm in winter. The Christmas light manufacturers have men that sneak into the closets and attics of millions of people and foul up everything. Beware. A new tree, eh ? Lemme tell ya about the notorious Alaskan tree spiders…

Last year I couldn’t take it and I threw three strands in the trash…recycle. It felt so good. Felt even better to have three boxes of new lights waiting in the Christmas decorations bins. I bought them on a huge sale. I’m already wondering what I will do this year. I hate to be wasteful, but I also go for avoiding a fit. 🙂

  I have done the “throw it all in the trash” routine several times over the years due to strandifracation as I call it. One year none of them worked. Weeks later I realized it was that the light switch was not turned on and the lights must have been working after all.

Absolutely the most fun job every Christmas. Mine are still in the box all jumbled up. It is still too warm to put them up. I wait until the temps drop to below 32. That way I come in for a warm up shot of scotch every so often. When the job is completed I am more lit than the front of the house.
