Christmas is a time for Peace and WAR!

Visit with me for a minute a few Christmas' from our past...Three years ago we put up Christmas lights for the first time. We had all red lights because that is what the previous owner left in the garage. One day we noticed that we now had a blue light in the middle of the strand. Then slowly, day by day more and more different lights began appearing, until our house looked really ghetto. We knew this could only mean one thing...the Pages had been here. Well, we stole lights off of their house and decorated our porch. They stole our lighted Christmas trees and put them in their upstairs windows, we moved more of their lights to the insides of our windows. It was so much fun!

Then last year, if you will recall we took this lovely old couch (left in our out building by the same previous owner) and made it festive for the holidays, before dropping it off in the Page's Driveway of course. You may recall where it ended up...
Yep, that's our roof!

Well, this year we went to CA for Thanksgiving...gone a week. We were ready for what we might find, but we found nothing. Weeks past and we were beginning to think that the Page's had lost their touch, until last night...We went to the ward Christmas party at church (the Page's were late) and came home to this....
HILLARIOUS! From the road you can't see the wood or anything that they mounted the lights on. It really is an A+ job, so now of course the war has begun. Please feel free to post any ideas here as we are taking suggestions. :) Oh, and check back for updates. You gotta love the holidays!

now that's funny... maybe you should just concede defeat at this point... of course you could always go to the old fallback - exlax cookies.

You guys are really getting crazy! I suggest making a banner that reads: "Bah Humbug" and hanging it on the back of their house where they might not see it for a while. But they have an advantage with the older kids they have to help them. Looks like fun, good luck!
