The North Pole Is In Steveston
Well, Dad did cut back a great deal. He has some lights outside, but apparently he and the ladder aren't seeing eye to eye these days. Understand here, the outside of his place could be seen from 6 blocks away in the past. He had wooden cutouts that spelled "Merry Christmas" in lights up on the roof, a huge light up Santa/reindeer, lights in all the trees, etc. It was pretty damn elaborate. This year the outside has fizzled out some...but there are still some candy canes, lights...enough!
The inside is a different story and I can't see where he's "cut it back" at all (although he claims he has). The pictures don't do it justice (I'd turned the flash off) - it's much brighter/more colorful in person. The living room area is beautiful - a festival of light is how I can best describe it. I did manage to capture some pics before my memory card filled up!! Here's a "sampler":

You're hard to keep up with but it's always interesting. Merry Christmas, nice pics. I have the spirit.
Oh wow, it is just mindboggling to think of what he did in years past when he really meant business! Thanks for the pix Deb!
Wow, that's a lot of decorations. I'm feeling festive though :)
Wow! That must have been awesome growing up in a real Christmasy home like that. That's really something.
Okay your dad is officially insane. I mean that in the nicest possible way, of course. It really does look splendid!
