It's Pronounced Yool Hoose

This was my answer to the question: Do you have Christmas lights up outside?
From Dera's meme at Casablanca.

I credit my green-milk-on-St.Patrick’s-Day mother for instilling me with a love of all things seasonal and holiday. My collection of holiday decorations (Christmas/Halloween/Easter/Haunkkah/Thanksgiving) is somewhat restrained (4 large plastic bins) considering what it could be.

I am the one hanging out with all the grandmas in places like Jule House of Solvang. In my other life, I’m one of the people on those HGTV Christmas specials with a different themed tree in every room of the house.

I took down our Christmas tree and outside lights on New Year’s Day, as I do every year. I missed them immediately. There are houses on our block that have up the house lights year round. I’ve heard of funny old ladies who keep up a Christmas tree all year too. I don’t believe that this Mrs. Rosenberg will be one of those old ladies, but never say never.

  1. I need to get on my lederhosen and get to the Jule House of Slovang. That looks like a party! Do they serve Glog?

  3. One year my friends couldn't afford a Christmas tree so they found a tumble weed and decorated it. They loved it so much, it stayed until April.

    I will admit that I bought a smaller pre-lit tree after Christmas. That makes two. One for each floor.

    But it was on sale.

  7. Wow! I like this lights! New Year is soon so it is time to buy some decorations for my New Year tree.
    I need to pass my term paper before holidays, so I should definitely read an article on how to write term papers
