Clark Griswold?

I had no idea that I had married Clark Griswold!! Tim is a one of a kind husband. He doesn't like to watch sports on TV, he always helps with the cleaning, and he likes to put Christmas lights up!! There are not many men who enjoy the job of putting Christmas lights up, but I got lucky enough to find one. Tim and I got an early start on our Christmas lights because Tim will be going out of town all next week and for the first two weeks of December! I told him I wanted the lights up earlier than the last two weeks of December and he was all for it!! I was informed that we would not be putting the icicle lights up that we already had from Dad. Oh no, everyone else does those. We will be buying all new lights... So for two days we put up Christmas lights, well actually I only helped a little it was mostly Tim. The neighbors looked at us like we were crazy. One lady in a van stopped and laughed about how we were "one of those who have to be first in the neighborhood!" But we sparked something because our neighbor's, the Johnson's, started to put theirs up the day after we started ours! All the hard work paid off... the lights look great, even though we couldn't light them at night until Thanksgiving was over! Tim still has big plans for the front yard. He would like to put lights in the bushes and the tree. But for now we will enjoy looking at our very orderly and straight lights on the house! Merry Christmas and always remember, "The most enjoying traditions of the season are best enjoyed in the warm embrace of kith and kin."
