Electrical Greetings



Charlie: "According to my schematic here, blue bulb #29,682 is burned out on the tree angel."

Martha: "You know what you can do with blue bulb #29,682, don't you?"


Season's Greetings to All

. . . And Especially to Your Loving Families


Martha: [*sigh*] "You're going to sit there and pout until I change blue bulb #29,682, aren't you."

Charlie: [*pouting*] "I just want the place to look nice for all my Blogger friends, that's all."

This is NOT our house--the photo is from the Huffington Post.

Gasp! Is this REALLY your house? That's some incredible lighting job. But I did notice that one bulb... :-)

Tis the season for electrical energy wasting.... falalalala.... lalalala!

I've gotta assume you're using LEDs for this display, Charlie... I can't see you being that wasteful with the electricity! But you know what? It's fantastic! I love it when people do these bit elaborate light displays for Christmas!

Wishing you and Martha a Peaceful and Warm Christmas, Charlie. xoxoxo

Big... That should be "big" and not "bit". Damn fingers...

So that's what a light-house is!

Love to you and the ever-suffering Martha! :¬)

Nollaig Shona Dhuit Séarlas agus Márta. :¬)

That's downright tasteful compared to some I've seen. And I know it's not your house ('cause I'm trained to read the small print, you know?). But that missing bulb would really annoy me. I hope Martha has a really sturdy ladder---this is no time for a bad spill.

Can't tell you how relieved I am that this is not your house.
hugs and all sorts of sticky sweet things to you.

If I lived next door to someone with a house like this I would go away for the holiday season LOL

one loose bulb is all it takes.
This is sorta old I guess but it was new to me. The strings of lights reminded me of it. Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas Charlie to yourself and the long sufferring Martha!

Ps that red bulb 58th from the left on row 261 is looking a wee bit flickery too...

hope said...

I wonder if the neighbors can light their own homes by merely opening the curtains? :)

Much Merry to you and Martha!

barbara said...

I knew that this was not your house, because of course you would put LOTS of lights on your house, not that paltry amount. Merry Christmas to you and your lovely wife, my friend!!

Pat said...

Sounds like a normal family Christmas:) Have a happy one and a peaceful loving 2012.

Kim Ayres said...

But you know full well that as soon as Martha climbs back down the ladder, bulb #29,683 will suddenly stop working...

Hope you both have a lovely Festive Season :)

I can't even imagine having that many lights to put and the places to put them. Whoever owns this house must pay a company to do all the lights. It is nice to see these many lights but in reality I am so happy with my little house. Your Martha doesn't take any guff from you,does she?
