In anticipation of the gloomy winter weather, I took it upon myself to try and get all of the exterior Christmas decorating done and out of the way. Evidence of my assimilation into this yule-tide tradition can be found on my Flickr site.

I know what you're thinking... "It's not even Thanksgiving yet!" Trust me, I had the same thoughts running through my head as I was perched precariously on the roof. That was one of the few things keeping me distracted from the doom that awaited me just over the edge. I also figured that I'd rather do it now - when the weather jumped to 42 degrees and not a drop of rain nor flake of snow in the air - than after tonight's predicted first dump of snow.

That, and it's always cool to see the lights the night after a snow storm.
