I'll go along with that, in fact I even found a site to buy the old 'twinkle' style bulbs... :reindeer2:Quote:

Coming up with new ideas for the Christmas yard display... :santa1:
Getting sap all over my hands from putting up the Christmas tree. Ahhh...what a scent... :christmastree:
Getting a head start on my Christmas cards... :elf3:
Christmas calories don't count
Going on a walk around the block in the snow to see everyone's Christmas lights (assuming I can have snow in December :p)
Lights on the roof and above the split level overhang are already up. Got to make use of this warm week... lol :elf3:
Me too! Putting my outdoor lights up tomorrow! :christmastree:Quote:

Santa nesting dolls
Trying so hard to fall asleep on Christmas Eve (I think I counted sheep to one million).
Welcoming new family and friends to your holiday traditions.
Doing something very unexpected for another at Christmas... :santasmile:
In France & England Christmas dinner lasted as long as the Yule candle burned (it was so huge, holes had to be chiseled in the stone floors as holders).
A pot of coffee, some warm orange rolls and a relaxing day watching Hallmark holiday movies... :gelf:
Reading 'A Christmas Carol' again, to inspire myself.
Napping in the living room and waking to Christmas lights... :home:
