Putting the lights up along the roof line is HIGH! So the next year we got a quote! LOL! Needless to say all we do now is whatever is low! Plus being at the end of the culdesac in a gated community - not a whole heck of a lot of people see our house anyway. Kinda sad.<br />I've been thinking of you, since my niece is now living in London and will not make it home for Christmas. They are gong to go over to Paris, which made me think of you again. You must've had beautiful Christmas's over there.<br />Well your house looks fabulous.<br />That chimney looks like it is just waiting for Santa...<br />Have a great weekend.<br />KarenKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09434884248842943912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-66763189175639078012011-12-16T17:26:05.190-05:002011-12-16T17:26:05.190-05:00I love your house and your decorations.

But this year I put most houses across the back of the piano, and 3 houses and the village tree (all from the Charles Dickens set) on my family room mantle. It looks nice and no cords are showing. Yeah! I always like your pics.
