Thank you, Cassie, for sharing those pictures of Christmas decorating in TV's, they're great! :coolsmiley:

I would imagine that riding around in a golf cart in 50 degrees is chilling but even that sounds better than 17 degrees, snow yesterday, snow tomorrow and perhaps an additional 12" on Wednesday. LET ME OUTTA HERE!! :ohdear:

I hope these pictures warm you up a little!! The spirit of Christmas is alive around here....the lights and the people...

More to come soon!! Someone else will have to get the Golf Cart parade on Saturday....we will be out of town!!

I will keep the houses coming though!!

Peachie, My tree is up. I posted a picture in my album. The ceiling is 14' high
so you can get the scale of the tree. It takes almost three days to get it up, lit and decorated. Also, the two browns I used on the walls of the house can be seen. Gracie,her daughters and granddaughter helped with the decorations. It was great! We laughed and hung ornaments.

Cass, great pictures, thanks for doing that. We have a nice bunch of decorations in Hadley, Come over here tomorrow and we'll take some pictures and you can post them.

Good job.

You guys are making me cold... I'm complaining about 50 degrees! Wow, my nose is cold.

Thanks for the pictures. One of my favoriate things to do is ride around the neighborhood and look at the Christmas lights.

Looking forward to more, but stay warm.

BTW, it's mighty cold here at the Delaware shore too.

Thanks Cassie. Your pictures are great. Good job. Being my first December in TV, I have a hard time believing that Christmas is right around the corner until I see the lights.

Could you folks suggest some good streets to visit to view Christmas lights. It seems pretty dark in our neck of the woods.

Cassie,

Thanks for the pictures. I especially liked the picture of Santa in the golf cart. It just seems like the most appropriate holiday decoration for TV.

As far the temperature goes, we'd love to have temperatures in the 50's in the Northeast. As Donna indicated, it is in the single digits in the Northeast (I live in Albany NY) and we've had high winds too so the wind chill puts the temperatures below zero. It should warm up later in the week but it doesn't matter to me because I plan to be on vacation in Florida then.
