You light up my life

"Crystal Snowflake" outdoor Christmas lights

You know how awesome the after-Christmas sales are, right? You can buy stuff for pennies on the dollar? Shiny stuff? In bulk?

That's what I did about ten years ago, outdoor-lights-wise. I bought ten "Crystal Snowflakes" - giant white plastic folding snowflakes wrapped in white lights, for, like, $1 apiece. I convinced myself that they'd be a wonderful addition to a breathtaking display that I would put together someday. . . someday. . . some. . .day. . .

These crystal snowflakes, for which I had such great fantasies but so little ambition, have sat, in their boxes, stacked, unopened, in our basement, for ten years.

These are going to the high school yard sale. God bless the high school yard sale!
