My house is very, very far from winning any neighborhood award when it comes to decorating, that's for sure
I had a really hard time decorating with lights this year because I let the shrubs by the front door get too big and they outgrew the lights I bought for them last year. I seriously thought about digging half of them up so that the lights would fit! I really have to do something next year...whack the monster boxwoods back by half, relocate the overgrown Azaleas, or both.
I threw some lights over the arbor/arch in my back yard after almost falling while trying to stand on a ladder to string them more carefully.
