I think this was something that my parents did a good job instilling in me.
I feel like as I have gotten older I have not been able to do this very well....I wish I could go the "extra mile" a little more! It somehow seemed easier to do this when I was younger. ( I must be getting tired!)
But, I have found something that I have definitely "overachieved" in this year:
Anyone else have their Christmas lights up already?
Have you had them up for a few months.....just being extra prepared for the holiday season?
Did you make sure you got them up before the snowstorms come?
Anyone else have such a wonderful husband, that you didn't even have to ask, beg and plead to put the Christmas lights up this year??
Well, we have definitely gone the extra mile in this department, because our lights are up! (I am so happy to see that all of my parent's hard work has not gone by the wayside!)
Just don't tell anyone that we didn't even take them down from last year! Seriously...can you believe that. Brandon just kept rationalizing it by saying that we would be the first in the neighborhood to have our lights up - and the lights are clear - so no one notices them! What?
I am glad I don't have to beg and plead this year to have him put them up. It looks like the problem is going to be begging and pleading for him to take them down! :)
