My husband is obsessed with Christmas lights. If it were up to him, our house would be on Richmond's famous Tacky House Tour each and every year and maybe even resemble the Griswold's house in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Around this time of year, it becomes my job to keep his madness under somewhat control so that our house looks classy, not tacky, and our electric bill doesn't go … [Read more...]
