I didn&#8217;t decorate much this year, a string of white lights around one window surrounding all the lovely cards I got.  Then, in an after-Christmas sale, I picked up a string of blue LED lights and put them around another window.  <\/p>\n<p>Those blue lights make me really happy, casting a soft, pleasant light throughout the living room.  And the fact that they&#8217;re so low-energy just makes them all the better.<\/p>\n<p>Then I say to myself, &#8220;Well, heck, if you&#8217;re leaving up the blue lights, do you really want to take down the white lights and the cards?&#8221;  <\/p>\n<p>And my answer is no, I don&#8217;t.  It&#8217;s not a matter of laziness, as it is when I don&#8217;t do some of the things (ok, many of the things) I intend to do.  I really like these lights and the cards.
