Christmas Light Issues

This was our year to have issues with our lights. Russ got them put up and I decorated the railing and other little parts. Everything was working except the icicle lights, reindeer, and Christmas packages never got plugged into the extension cords. We had a wait a couple days because we had a blast of cold weather with snow. I went outside one evening and the big bulbs were out and then 1/2 of one of the railing strands was out - what next!. Last Saturday we finally had another unseasonable warm day. Russ got extension cords hooked up, wrapped them with electrical tape, checked fuses and then we were set to go. I just bought another strand of 100 lights since they are only $2.50 at Wally World and threw the old ones away. I just wasn't going to mess with them. This is the results of our labor minus lighting the upper part of the house. I didn't think I would miss the peak being lite but it does look a little naked to me.

My camera has this function that you can make lights look like stars, hearts and squares. I was trying to figure out how to work it. A little fuzzy but not too bad.

Your house is my favorite on the block this year. And I love the little stars!
