Someone I know entered this Christmas Light Contest. Blah, Blah, Blah, Click on the link, vote for house #10.

Feel free to reply with comments about your feelings regarding any or all aspects of this contest, the houses, or this shameless plea to stack the deck but vote for house #10. Thanks.

Ok, it's done.

As I merely have a small string of lights undulating along the upper outline of my front porch,
I am quite boring, where holiday extravaganza is concerned.

An experience I had as a child still returns to me in nightmares. "It's a small world after all......". :boggle: No......a string of lights and a wreath does the trick at our house.

House 3 is interesting. I wonder where
they found all those light-up tulips?
I bet the video of house 6 would be
better if they'd gotten the sound
louder.

Voted for number 10. I thought it was the best, too, although number 8 was pretty good too.
Number ten was in the clear lead when I looked.

A good friend of mine had some great lights at his place, Longwood Gardens, PA. Our neighbors have a train, about ten inflated figures including Sponge Bob, candy canes and a gazillion lights. We have one Moravian star, I feel so inadequate. #6 hands down have to watch the video to tell.

Tell us something.: I've been making whistles since 2010 in my tiny workshop at my home. I've been playing whistle since teenage times.

Get out your Gold, Red, and Blue markers...

Then you can position it right next to the lantern so the satellite will pick it up. :)
