--- Quote from: Jeff Wrangler on December 20, 2019, 12:05:22 pm ---We used to do that a lot when I was a kid, sometimes on Christmas night. We called it going for a ride "to see the lights." Then came the Energy Crisis of the 1970s (when Jimmy Carter urged us to wear cardigans like Mr. Rogers :laugh: ) and people largely stopped decorating outdoors. Obviously there's been a resurgence, and I'm glad to see it. It took me a while to get used to the mini-lights (on indoor trees as well) because they weren't the Christmas lights of my early childhood, but I've grown to like them, especially when people use all white lights. I haven't yet gotten used to the new LED lights. I think the light they emit is cold compared to incandescent light.

My brother and sister-in-law have decorated outside their townhouse with new versions of the "classic" lights. They look like the old twist-in bulbs, but they're made of a different material, they looked almost plastic. Apparently they don't burn at a high temperature, and are safer to use on trees and other foliage.

Hiya BetterMost friends.
Christmas Eve has arrived!
I'm not doing anything tonight, I will be seeing family tomorrow for dinner, and then back to work on Thursday.
Exchanged gifts with my brother, sis-in-law, niece, her boyfriend and Trent on Saturday, so it will be a rather quiet Christmas, which is fine.
;D

Hiya BetterMost friends.
I hope that everyone who is celebrating has a great Christmas!
I had a nice sleep-in today, and then plugged in my wax-melting device, so the apartment smells like baking brownies. :) Spent some time doing some straightening up around the apartment, washed some dishes, and got my gifts ready to go over to Mom & Dad's place. I'm not heading over there for another four hours, so I will go out and clean out the car and clean the windows.

Hiya BetterMost friends.
I hope that everyone is having a great weekend.
For Thursday and Friday, I went on a shopping spree with some of the gift cards I got for Christmas. I spent $120.00 on 5 different bottles of cologne, all by David Beckham. It was very timely that I got the cards, as I was down to my last little bit of cologne in my last bottle. I got two new scents that I've never heard of before (Intimately, and Classic Blue), and then three scents I've ordered before (Signature, Homme, and Instinct). Intimately already arrived, and the rest are on the way.
I then got myself some groceries, and ingredients to make 4 stromboli for the New Year's Eve party I'm going to. This should be the last time I need to make Stromboli for a while! LOL
Last night I went to Party City and Burlington, and I found a bunch of accessories for the "gay gangster" (gayngster) costume.
I found an inexpensive white button down shirt at Burlington. I already had gay pride suspenders and necktie. I found the following items at Party City: fake cigar, sleeve garters, spats, a shoulder holster, and to top the look off, a gay pride striped fedora that matches my tie.
:laugh:
Here is everything.
