Throw some switched outlets outside in the soffit for roof lights
I was only so happy when I saw the outlets beside the soffit lights on my new place - no time this year to string lights but it’s on the list for next Christmas. ?

Its nice to be able to walk to the coat closet and flip the switch for Christmas lights when its cold and nasty outside.

Somehow I can see you and Larry @Blue Streak doing this while we were up there accessing the damage from the kegger! :rolleyes:?
Glad to help in any way. :idea: Think I just got an idea. Duke might need your help.

We've not been emotionally able to put a tree up for the last 13 yrs (since our daughter passed away-she adored Christmas!) as it was just too hard. Last year we went so far as to buy a small artificial one but just couldn't put it up.
Today I finally did it while Jeanie is at work. She doesn't know.
I reckon I'll find out in a little while if I did the right thing or not.

Merry Christmas, friends.

You found the strength to finally put it up so I think you have the strength to support Jeanie through this Christmas. May your daughter’s memory be a blessing to you both. ? ♥

Our fake tree. 6 years old and not one needle dropped ?. I do miss the smell of a real tree but our DIL is allergic to them.

Then we always put out Brandon the reindeer that we made to explain to the grandkids why the presents have gotten smaller lately ?.

And a nativity set my wife made in ceramics class 40 years ago. The stable was made from a tree hit by lightning that turned the roof of our first house inside out

I made some Santa engravings for presents

All the best to you Chris. Tough waters you are navigating. Life is never the same afterwards. Hope a bit of Christmas cheer finds you both.

We lost our oldest son 14 years ago… another few weeks and it will be 15. Christmas is still fun in our world. Though the memories of Christmas past are always there. Birthday, and some other special dates…. Rough waters. Rough.
