1 And here I had you pegged as a Chevy Chase/National Lampoon's type of decorator.

2 Be afraid, be very afraid--of my Mom! She's one of those types whose electric bill would triple during the month of December. The only reason you can't see her house from the Space Station this year is because her antiquated breaker box can't handle the strain anymore.

She decorated our house this year instead, but luckily I managed to keep her in control. Just icicles across the eaves and lighted garland around the front door. As it is, the increased light level outside my bedroom window makes it harder to go to sleep!
