I love the look of Christmas lights, but they are so darned hard to put up. I'm too scared of heights to do it myself and Mike hasn't seen fit to make the time to do it for years. The last time he put them up, I left them for several years watching strands burn out one by one leaving 10 - 12 foot unlighted gaps Got a lot of snickering comments too from people who saw them lit up in the middle of summer. He finally took them down once and for all after the last remaining lighted strand was done. I started "hinting" to him last year and again this year to put new lights up, but he didn't take the "hint" last year, and I doubt he will this year either.
