white icicle lights,
inflatable santa claus
please don’t blow a fuse
Back in the southbay, there was a street off of Grant road in Los Altos near the Mountain View border that was known for having elaborate Christmas decorations. This street and the great wall of china are probably the only two things visible from outer space this time of year. It was so well-known in fact, that cars used to line up so they could drive down that street to view the lights.
Of course, the question arises, when do you take your Christmas decorations down? After all, doesn’t it get tacky to see a house in the middle of june with Christmas lights over the garage and an inflatable snowglobe on the front lawn? (I know…this kind of talk should be coming from anyone but me) I suppose for most people it’s after the first of the year. Certainly before memorial day. Anytime after that and you subject your house to teepee’d trees and eggings. Of course there is something to be said about having the Christmas spirit year round…but maybe just keep it indoors and away from the resentful stares of your neighbors.
