Christmas is celebrated in all it's glory - and no one is complaining - YET! It only takes one.

It's easy to do. Just install a DC to AC convertor. It will supply enough juice to power a lot of mini lights!

Here are a couple of photos I took last November at LSL. You can see the large Christmas tree.

You just have to be sure you don't overload it. Check the output of your inverter and calculate whatever you want to plug into it. There are several different size output inverters available. We have one that is rated at 75 watts and it is more than enough to power the LED lights around the top. I'm hoping to add some more this year. Ours is the type that plugs into the optional cigarette lighter type port in the dash. It can be used to power any AC device under 75 watts.

Is this English? I need a translation! Maybe I can just enjoy the results of your hard work. Happy Holidays!

This reminds me of the time I pulled Einstein's Theory of Relativity off the shelf at the library. If it's in English I can read it, I said to myself. I got through one half page before giving up.

That made my day. We will be moved down soon and can't wait to join the festivities! Our 7-year journey to get to TV is only through the grace of God! PERIOD! Case closed.
