My Aquarium

I never thought I’d be one of those “keeping up with the Joneses” types but in what concerns Christmas decorations, I really am. When everybody decorated over the Thanksgiving weekend, I was incensed. We should give every holiday its own opportunity to shine and not hurry to the next festive occasion before this one is experienced in full!

I’m not going to cover the entire house with Christmas lights, turn it into a Coca-Cola bottle, or buy a huge Darth Vader that lights up like my neighbors did. But I found a better way to upstage them and make my house stand out with its decorations.

At the local Home Depot, there are these small, cheap projectors that are like strobe lights of a kind. I bought two, red and green, and they make my porch look like a giant aquarium. Here is a photo but it looks much better in real life because the lights actually move:

Sorry for the note of levity but it’s good to explore something warm and fuzzy on a difficult day.
