Brilliant Thinking Trumps Brilliant Lighting

I have an admission to make:  I haven’t put any lights up on my home for the holidays.  I’ve brushed it off this year, telling myself that my holiday decorations were probably stolen by a furry green dude with a suspicious resemblance to Jim Carrey.  I don’t know that it’s true (I’d probably need to crawl into the attic and actually LOOK for my decorations to make such claims), but it makes for a good story, and it deflects the guilt I’m feeling for being a bad holiday neighbor.

All of the other houses on my block have gotten into the spirit, cheerfully trimming their homes with colorful lights, blow up Santas, and cardboard reindeer, while my home sits dark, indicating my Dickensian (Dickenslike?) attitude towards the community’s Christmas spirit.

If I had been smart about it, or even slightly more enthusiastic about electronic manger displays (I’m still looking for somebody with a fiber optic baby Jesus in the front yard) and soaring electricity costs, I might have done what Dave Nosek of Elburn, IL came up with:

There’s a distinct possibility that I might be stealing this idea for my house next year….
