Geez the two of you....be honest now, you probably removed the lawn ornaments last year but left the lights strung so all you did was plug them in this year and throw the ornaments back out there right???
I categorically refuse to get up on the ladder, potentially make myself into a quadriplegic when I ultimately fall off said ladder, all to just hang some lights up.
So my long suffering wife settles with hanging lights in the kids windows and putting out decorations outside instead. Plus of course the requisite interior decorations. Which few people other than family see because we're introverts.
