Week TwentyOne, November 2009: The Season Begins

Last night I had company over for dinner, and then we went to the local light show. Now, while I still have decorating to do, the main stuff is done. I will finish in between other things, but now it's time to *try* to enjoy the season!
Here's what I have so far:
Outside ... candy canes line the driveway, and then curve around the front of the house. In front of a triangular shaped garden there is a "break" in the line of canes for a metal arch. Then the canes continue to the front door, where there is a wire arch built over the front door. Running lights go along the whole length of the candy canes and the metal arch. The are blue and white icycle lights on the arch of the front door. There are white net lights on the shrubs on either side of the front door, a small tree in a pot to the right after the net lights, and then some icycle lights (on the shrubs) to the corner of the house. At night, it's a long stretch of lights, and looks very pretty! The front door has a big wreath.
In the back (actually the side, going on down the rest of the driveway), there's another corner garden. The eaves surrounding that have blue icycle lights. At the corner of the porch is a tiny green lit tree, and also a small lighted reindeer (sort of cartoon character looking). There's a 5' tree on the porch with multi colored lights that blink on and off. The far end of the porch has a lattice wall. Along the outside top of the wall are swag lights; and on the side of the wall that's inside the porch are snowflake lights. Across the criveway from the porch, on the side of the pumphouse that faces the street, is a pretty wreath with blue & white lights. A few feet in front on that, standing in front of the yard light pole (the tall kind that belong to the power company), is a 10' tree, with lights and a few large scale ornaments. Farther on down is a white angel (bedsheet, 3-arm lamp, tinsel, lots of duct tape!), and in a small raised bed is a pair of (unlit) candy canes.
If anyone is keeping count, that's 4 trees outside!
I'll describe some of the inside in another post, and will also - sometime today I hope - post some pictures.
