Are you all noticing that people are taking the time to put up Christmas lights?
My neighborhood seems to be going crazy. It’s actually funny to see how different each house is in so many different ways. There are houses that are pretty classic with white lights and red bows and things like that and then there are over the top houses. There are also houses that have just enough.
I think there are two kinds that interest me the most. The first are the houses that don’t really have organization. It doesn’t matter whether they have a small display or a huge one. Some folks just have different types of lights all strung together and different types of displays and things like that.
The second is actually something for after Christmas and seeing how long they leave them up. There’s a house two doors down that my wife and I are sort of betting on an over/under of when they take them down. Or not I guess.
We’re a small to medium size classic white light display. Just some strings of lights on a few trees, some garland with strings of lights and a lit tree on our porch with some bows. Just enough. Not too bad to put up and not too bad to take down.
What’s your display like?

#ileftmyheartinsanfranscisco week is going to be VERY heavily one team and sport. I do stray from that team once in the week and I’ll let you figure out where that is.
Other Notes
Another week of a normal rate of returns with 12. It’s been feeling much steadier and was this week with at least a little something coming in every day. There were actually several days where Informed Delivery didn’t have anything coming in, but I ended up getting something. I do wonder if there will be issues with mail as they get busier this time of year. Especially after the end of Summer and Fall they had.
The backlog went up to 298. Another normal week and I’ll be over 300
Stay safe and healthy out there!
