Another week has gone by and I find myself writing another Thankful Thursday post. Today is another silly thing to be thankful for but come November it wont be so silly then! When I have the most awesome amazing house on the block!!! What am I talking about you ask?! Well Christmas Lights of course!!
So what I am actually thankful for is Christmas clearance sales because I got all of the above Christmas lights, plus 5 more boxes of lights, 2 rolls of white rope light, 15 boxes of christmas ornaments and 5 boxes of white christmas tree path lights all at 50-70% off! I love how much money I save on Christmas lights bevcause I dont know if you can tell or not but I am only buying LED lights which most of you probably know is the most expensive way to go. But on the flip side I save about $30 (so far) in electricity over the regular blubs. I bet I actually save more because I had a lot more lights up this year than I did last year so $30 is a low number but makes me happy because I can have a lot of lights up without having a huge electrical bill.
These arent the best pictures but you can see the lights we had up this past year. After I took this picture I added lights around the base of the two trees and lights around a shrub you cant see right now because its dark.
We are getting rid of those ugly icicle lights, I dont know why I just hate them and they look stupid in those trees anyways.
So thats what Im thankful for this Thursday. A little bit of silliness but hey we all know by now that I have a deep seated love of Christmas and Christmas lights and they make me happy (although seeing them in January does not make me happy, neighbors I talking to you who still have your darn icicle lights still up).
What makes you happy or thankful on this Thursday? Im sure its something a little more interesting than Christmas lights but they were just on my mind today I cant help it! :)
