We have our tradition of putting up our Christmas decorations and tree the weekend after the US holiday of Thanksgiving. It is usually a little late, Sunday or even Monday before it’s all finished.
Now that my sons are bigger, they are a lot of help and usually it’s the three of us putting up the outside lights and getting the inside decorations and tree out of storage. (yes, there are a lot of boxes of these things! ;-))
We usually have a few old decorations that no longer work and one or two new decorations. This year is no different. Our train is about to die, and we have added a very cool (I think, and the neighbours seem to agree) LED laser.
I have some solar powered lights and all the outside electric lights are connected to a timer now, so I can see the lights already on when I’m coming up the street on my way home, and I don’t have to go out in the cold late at night to turn them off before going to bed. It’s been the best part of our set up 😉
Here are a few pictures. You might notice the small differences from last year’s set up. I also included a short video clip so you can see the effect of the laser lights.
