Today, I put up our Christmas lights on the house. I had bought a fancy pole and clips to try to make it easier and possibly avoid a ladder. That pole kit was annoying and worthless! Maybe if I had some trees it would have worked well, but not the house. I went back to my tried and true method of using the tiny clips. This year I knew what I was doing and it only took me about an hour. I even felt fine on the ladder. The lights look really good. I also got our fancy new 9 foot tall Christmas tree put up. Sarah is going to decorate it later this week. I’ll post some photos when we are finished.
