My small rural street added 2 more houses with lights this year.
I had one neighbor say, "Well I can't compete with you!"
I looked right him and said, I don't expect you too. I appreciate the fact that you are putting up some lights for the season and showing your Christmas Spirit.
I also explained to him that I had a mental illness
He seemed to appreciate me saying that and I enjoy all size/type displays that go up.
It is not about the biggest, the best, the most blinky......
It is about showing appreciation and spirit for the season!
Merry Christmas!
Mike.
