Do you ladies have your lights put up yet on your house?
I think this weekend we are going to put ours up!
Hugs,

Not yet. I am still trying to figure out how to do it on this house. The style of the house I moved from this summer was easy to lit up and I had outlets outside. My new house is different and I have no outlets outside. So, I am trying to figure it out. I will have to run an extention cord around to the back under the pantry door, as there is a gap just big enough.

For tomorrow and its needs I do not pray, but keep me, guide me, love me, Lord just for today.

My outside lights are all done. I did them the weekend before Thanksgiving since it was really warm here. I didn't turn them on until this past weekend though, I like to let Thanksgiving stand on its own! My tree went up yesterday, but I have to finish fluffing up the branches (it is artificial) before I can put the garland and ornaments on.

I have my lights up up on the mantle (intertwined with faux pine garland) but that's about it-trying to figure out where I want to put the tree.

It's all frozen fog out side today, so I'm skird to crawl up on the ladder by my lonesome! Probably next weekend for us =) BUT! I'm getting a tree either Saturday or Sunday =) =) =)
We have some nice out side trees that I'm thinking of putting lights on this winter. They would be visible a long way and would be lovely!

Not only are my lights up but I just about have the whole house decorated. Even two trees. I took advantage of warm weather a few weeks back to do my outside lights. Rarely do we ever have warm and dry weather in November. So I jumped on it. With our first snow today, things are finally beginning to feel like Christmas around here.

Well, the last of our outside lights are up, both houses, all the barns and coops are lit up, should be able to see us from space (just kidding), and I DID NOT go up any ladders, lol. My tree inside is almost finished, and of course my D-in-Laws is already done, both of our outside trees are done, along with the barn trees.

Marly, no I mailed it to you COD on the postage, First Class, over night, shouldn't cost more than a couple of hundred.
