Lovin' the Lights

Who doesn't love Christmas lights? I mean, very few actually love putting them up, but most everyone loves the way they brighten the dark winter nights.

We learned a few things. First, the people that love lights really do love lights. Second, our favorites are the blue lights. And third, our camera doesn't take the greatest shots of Christmas lights in the dark. Or maybe more accurately, I don't know how to take pictures of Christmas lights in the dark.

Oh, wait, that's our house! I knew there was a reason I liked it, despite its apparent lack of lights, or rather lack of someone who desires to put up said lights.
