You got it Marc, still a lot to do but have the hard stuff done. Nothing worse than being on a ladder in 20 degree weather freezing your nads off trying to untangle lights...

If you all love Bumbles then that means the punk kids with nothing better to do will also love your Bumble... enough to mess with it or maybe steal it. I would point a security camera at it if I were you!

Good work my friend. It was almost 90 here, so it's a little difficult to ponder putting up anything Christmas related. Maybe when it drops down to the 80s..........

Got my Bumble at Home Depot for $99. We got the last one!

I have also seen a set of three; Bumble, rain deer and tree too. Google Bumble and you can find one in your area...

I'll be hanging ours in 90degree heat towards the end of the month.
I hang some on the inside of the deck at the back of the house so we can enjoy them ourselves while we sit in the fresh air and have a cold drink in the evening.
I've never seen a "white Christmas", some years it is so hot we just hole-up in the aircon all day.

Ok, I gotta hunt around for a Bumble. It's so cute! Hmm?? How do I get it in my car? LOL I'll worry about that later.

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer is 50 yrs old this year! I still love watching that show.

Gave away all our decorations, except a few we packed. The advantage of moving. This Christmas will be a bare-naked house.
