Hi Everyone
Happy Wednesday
♥
Do you have those neighbors
you know the ones that leave their Christmas lights up all year long
well I have a confession to make
you know the ones that leave their Christmas lights up all year long
well I have a confession to make
it is a little bit embarrassing but the truth is
we are those neighbors yes we are...
we leave our outdoor Christmas lights up all year long
I know I know...
we leave our outdoor Christmas lights up all year long
I know I know...
If you look closely at this picture of our front door
you can actually see the orange extension cord running down the right side of our house
this cord controls
our Christmas lights
it gets plugged in behind the plant on the right
I have tried to hide the extension cord with a
vintage urn a large tree
but that cord still peeks through
Here is a great picture of the Christmas lights
on the back of our house too
The Christmas lights were a big deal for Handsome husband
They were very difficult to hang because of our high roof line
so we decided not to take them down once they were up
The Good News is
after Thanksgiving
we will be able to just plug the lights in with the orange extension cord
and we will have our lights glowing for Christmas
What about you do you take your Christmas lights down every year
or are you one of those neighbors too

It looks so pretty and warm there Pam. We do take our lights down every winter, usually when we get a warm thaw in January or February. I leave one set that is in the milk can display on all winter long to light up the front door. The coloured lights on the tree come off earlier than the rest. I like your white lights in your arbour and don't think there's a thing wrong with having them on all year around. Happy Thanksgiving to you! Pamela
ReplyDeleteYes! We are those people too! I will eventually be posting on how I use my CHRISTmas lights all year --- I love how you have left the CHRIST in CHRISTmas!!!!! When people use an "X" it immediately turns me off.

PS Happ Thanksgiving!
Hi Pam!!!
ReplyDeleteMy sister had icicle lights inside and used them when she had company over year round.
Have you thought about painting the orange cord to match the house? Do you think that
would work? I've never painted electrical cords, but, it should work.
I've always loved you house and Blog!!!!

Sorry Pam, I meant your house!! LOL
DeletePam, don't worry you are not the only one. I have my lights on my arbor all year long. And just so you know there are white extension cords out there, I have one on the back deck pergola so no one will notice it. The renovation is coming along great. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Alaina
ReplyDeleteThey are barely noticeable, and look sooo very amazing when lit. Who cares?!
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a happy and blessed Thanksgiving.
Hugs,

If I had your home, I too, would leave the lights up all year long. I wonder if you could paint the extension cord the same color as your home then it might not stand out so much? The lights are so romantic and charming. Would love to see in person. :)

If you have a Dollar General store, they have all lengths of dark green extension cords. We have slowly been changing ours over ;^)
ReplyDeleteYour arch over the gate is gorgeous!!!
Blessings to you,
