Apologies to the neighbors

Last weekend, a bunch of houses put up their xmas lights. I came home snickering one night, having seen that one house had set up their lights so that they were running across the yard at what appeared to be about five feet high, or the garrotting-level, as I liked to call it.

Then we put up our lights.

Um, guess how they're strung? IT JUST MADE SENSE TO DO IT THAT WAY. And it looks pretty anyways. Stop judging me - you can walk under it just fine!

We also have a purple tree. Why purple, you might ask? Hey, it's a regal color, and you know, this holiday does celebrate the king of kings. Plus purple strings were 99 cents each at the grocery store.
