Yes, it’s less than a week until Christmas and I am still hanging some lights outside. (The nativity remains unplugged. Apparently, it really is a little too challenging for me to locate an extension cord.)
So, in my last-minute desire to throw more joy onto the porch, I checked the strands, (only two) and swiftly wrapped the diminutive trees in the freezing temps. Only one works. Now what?
Given that this other illustrious example of my motivation exists, I know exactly what will happen.
I have had the timer for the Christmas treeing gently placed by the outlet for the past three weeks. What do I do? I just keep plugging and unplugging the tree at night. I would have set the timer, but then I’d be missing out on some valuable stretching exercise.
The outdoor lights will be my next workout. I’ll just go out and forcefully jiggle them every evening until they obey.
