We put up our outside lights this past weekend and noticed that no one else seemed to have any up.  Then I saw this on my way out this morning.

Now, in theory, this should convince people to put up more lights, but somehow I think it's just incentive for people to actually put up lights.  I mean really- there are 1500 houses in our neighborhood (I still get lost driving around), and maybe 200 of them have up lights.  Really?  As someone who loves Christmas, I think that's just kind of sad.  On the up side, maybe it means that we'll win!
