For the 1st time in 10 years, I have lights up outside my house. (I did it for my across the street neighbors; they've given me joy for 2 years and outdid themselves this year.) Mine are simple decorations but meaningful for me.

I made a "tree" from white lights and a piece of my dismantled sliding glass door. (Already there are copycats around town.) Some simple yard sale lights strung on the existing nails on my eaves are lit. There are 2 ancient and wobbly red candelabras (6 lights total) lent to me by the guy who let me drive his Geo but is back in WV now (his mother has dementia so of course he has to be there and not here). I set them up in my LR window in honor of his Mom and my late mother. My display may not not be showy or perfect to observers but works for me. (I didn't get around to relighting the metal white elephant with swinging trunk I found at a yard sale--next year for sure. And I didn't light my wire chickens I found either.) Since a front door must have a wreath, I made one from those vines that grow in my oaks (they are pretty darned wimpy compared to concord vines) which I decorated with 5 silver bulbs and 5 crab shells. Peeps in FL are impressed but probably because they don't realize that the crab bodies memorialize all those Kraft brown paper lined table feasts where the beer and conversation flowed while bushels of crabs kept coming as long as the participants didn't cry "Uncle". (They sell crabs by the pound here? Huh? Dozen of heavies or a bushel are what I know. FL blues are not Bay blue. And don't order crabcakes here. Recipe is simple: picked crab, a bit more Old Bay if needed, egg or eggs (depending how how much meat you have in the bowl) formed into patties, dusted in cracker crumbs and sauteed in buttah--lots of buttah. It's a crabcake not mousse mush!)

Lousy picture of my "tree" over my yard rock. Stupid cell phone!



Wishing happy holidays to all of you!
