You're welcome... and yeah, three strings on the tree and one on the balcony.
Next year I might get LED lights.

Light 'em if you got 'em!
I used to put them up when I lived in a house. But now I live in a box called "condo", so I only put them up inside. All lights, bright lights... |

I remember travelling from NYC to Newport to visit my mother for Christmas. The weird thing was seeing a huge condo with a half a dozen windows done up with lights. I guess they were doing them for themselves more than for the people who might be passing on the expressway! And that's cool.

I've not put up lights in three years, this is my third year without a tree or any decorations and I'm not giving my wife anything for Christmas either. I'm a poor victim of the downturn in manufacturing and can't afford nonsense like Christmas, clothing, food...

My wife did. If I had my druthers we wouldn't celebrate any of these ridiculous holidays. Not for any moral opposition, but I hate the bother.
You don't get a body like mine by doing stuff. She and I have an understanding: If she wants it done right now (Or in certain instances, ever) she will do it herself. If she can wait (Sometimes forever) then I will.
Magic is doing improbable things with odd items that, under normal circumstances, would be unnessecary and quite often undesirable.

I put up Holiday Lights but don't worry. Here in Seattle our power is created from 100% renewable resources. Hydro and Wind generation so it has no impact on man made climate change.
And no, our dams do not cause salmon depletion as they were built upstream from the final spawning grounds.

Do your wind mills not smack birds that try to fly through them? You bird killers!

Another thing Eagle Slayer, you don't get any electric from the dams on the Columbia do you? When I was a kid we use to go watch the salmon swim through. Fish killers.

For us it's a matter of tradition. Using very little artificial lighting, we light our real Christmas tree with string lights and burn candles throughout the house on Christmas eve and Christmas day. It's very magical.
The creativity and inventiveness that the west has exhibited since the Renaissance has been achieved because of the imagination and the indulgences that we allow ourselves and project onto our children. If the modern day commie/fascist got their way, the future would be very dim.
POOF!

Yes, but they are getting less as years progress. Now, it's just our tree in the house and some lights in the yard. We stopped putting lights on the deck, above the garage, and the evergreens outside. I guess less is more...

Okay....I'll let you slide Payne. The windmills above Livermore California are usually not working because they killed so many birds.

Yeah the old ones were bird blenders. But the new ones work much better as they've made them so the blades rotate slower so the birds can manoeuvre around them better.
All except this one I guess http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u14tBwO5QVQ
