My Husband's Big Snoopy Christmas Lights: They're BAAAAACK....!!! [View All]

Last year, I posted the tragic tale of my husband's insistence on a strand of big, bright multi-colored lights on our house. Seeking sympathy, I described the delicate white lights on everybody ELSE'S house in the neighborhood, the tasteful wreaths and perfectly-tied red ribbons -- the look that says, "We celebrate Christmas with style." Whereas our house's style screams "Clowns live here!" or "Big Sale Tonight!" or something...

When I say, "NObody else has had lights like that since 1972," he says, "They still make 'em."
When I say, "I wanted lights that say 'christmas,' not CHRISTMAS!!!" he says, "They do."
When I say, "These look like Snoopy lights!" he says, "And your point is...?"

Yet the responses here last year not only supported Husb's point of view, but actually encouraged him. This year, he even got a fancy pole to help him hook 'em up there. Let's just say that when my piano students come to our house, NONE of them say, "I like your lights!" or anything even remotely similar... They tactfully offer no comment.

So I hold all of you, who took his side last year, complicit in the perpetuation of this embarrassing, overly-colorful assault on good taste.

And I give you all one more opportunity to weigh in here: tasteful white lights, or BIG bright "they still make 'em" Snoopy lights? Do not disappoint me... If you do, and if it's true they "still make 'em," it'll only get worse next year...
