my boss calls it santa barf. as in santa barfed on somebodys front yard (BTW, in the new smilies, someone FORGOT the pukeing one, or was that intentional?)
now, mind you, i like tastefully done lights. simple white lights, with clean lines, candles in the window, big evergreen wreath on the door, and maybe some of those wicker looking deer with white lights. that is tasteful, and pretty.
sometimes colored lights are done well, specially folks who just use one or two colors (my mom did her tree lights one year with red and gold strands of lights, gorgous result)
but the yards that are crammed with every consevable lighted blaring christmas related thing. uggggggg..... like nails on a chalkboard. unfortunalty we have one at the end of the road, although, now that i think about it, i don't think they're still there, becuase it would have started going up by now. glory glory halliluhah!!!
