After many years of boycotting the christmas house decoration thing, I decided to put a light up! We went to ACE today and I tried to buy one single christmas light on a string. Hell no, the closest thing they had was a 25 light string of red lights, so I bought it. After fiddling around with the concept, and blowing out one test with sparks, I ended up splicing an old extension cord to one light out of the string.
I like it, and it makes a statement! Steph asked me what that statement was and I stuttered for a moment, and finally blurted out “bah humbug! This is my way of saying screw you to the houses in my neighborhood that flip their gaudy christmas lights on as soon as thanksgiving dinner starts to decompose in their gut!
So, here’s to a new tradition, one I know that travelers down Ski Hill Road will look in our direction, see that lone red light, get it, and smile…
