Living Next To The Griswalds

Okay...we got a new neighbor this summer. Mind you...we don't live in the most "up scale" neighborhood, but not necessarily the white trash section of New Haven either. Our new neighbor (name - Wiley...as in Wile E Coyote). This summer he entertained us with his Harley Davidson, Gargoyles on his roof, and Tiki Statues in his landscaping. Now...we are experiencing Christmas. It started out mild with some lights along the roof line, which I thought was very nice. And each night we come home...something has been added. It's like the 12 days of Christmas...in lights! 12 candy canes blinking, 11 wreaths a glowing, 10 deer a standing.....well, I could go on and on, but I'll let you watch the short video. The UP side to this is that the girls absolutely love it. I have half the mind of going over there and giving him a Christmas Card and telling him thank you for entertaining my girls. Because each night as we turn the corner we have to see ...what that crazy Wiley put up now. Unfortunately on the video you can't see the Christmas tree that rotates in his window...or the music accompanying the lights. Yes, my friends, he is giving Clark Griswald a run for his money.

I love it! We actually put lights up outside this year, but we don't have the wave motion...that rocks! I bet that is so much fun for the girls to watch at night!

I think I'd be right next to the girls checking out what went up today. That is pretty entertaining!
