christmas decorations

okay, okay, i have been meaning to write in this for a really long time and i will, but for right now when i have only a few minutes before dinner, i will leave you with this. 
i'm home (in florida) now for break and since we don't get much or really any change of seasons down here, people go a little crazy with their outdoor christmas decorations. don't get me wrong, i LOVE everything about christmas and all the holiday that surrounds it, but i just don't really understand the need to cover your lawn with blow-up snowmen, tacky lights and a plastic Jesus, Joseph, and Mary. Anyways, we have new neighbors next door that don't seem to feel the same way. I've watched over the last week as they have added more and more to their yard and I have to admit, I do enjoy seeing it as i round the corner to come home. tonight though, my little brother, teddy, rode his bike home from a friends and told me i had to come outside. the neighbors had made a new addition....
lights that blink in coordination to christmas songs. 
yep, their light-up candy cane fence and all the lights on the house and in the yard, blink on and off to the tempo of the song that is blasting from a speaker somewhere in their yard.
that just took this all to a whole other level.
