I guess Christmas lights aren't meant to last 17 years. I always take for granted that they'll light up each Christmas. The kids exercised the virtue of patience while waiting to decorate the tree. After calling one store and searching 5 others, I finally found a set of commercial Christmas lights at Shopko. Who'd uh thunk it! What's a tree without lights? We would have had to revert back to days of old and place candles on the tree!

Needed a little pick me up, so they popped in the Pride and Prejudice DVD. Mrs. Bennet got Mag's attention when she shouted, "He has five thousand a year(said with accent)!" Can you tell we've watched this a few times?
