Do you like our house?

Aunt Bethany: Is your house on fire, Clark?
Clark: No, Aunt Bethany, those are the Christmas lights.


Our lights from down the street....


Do you think that's enough?




OK, so I am pulling your leg. How much do you think these people spend on lights, electricity, property damage(people were roaming the streets all around) every year? We are happy to know that Richmond is a great place to live at Christmas. People really get into the Christmas spirit! We have a tacky lights tour and if I could vote, this one tops the list. I have never seen anything like it before.

Here is the real thing!





MERRY CHRISTMAS!

update: those crazy lights cost about $3500 a month in electricity(which means bigger bonuses for my husband since they are using a lot of Dominion's power) and their biggest vandalism problem is the squirrels that eat the lights way up high. oh and they start working in September. wow.

Wow! Anne, you really had me. I was a little worried something had happened to you since you'd moved north! LOVE the real thing, though!

Very tastefully done! Love the white lights! Glad you are still supporting Dominion, but on a smaller scale!
