Blog No 9: Painting with Lights - Part 2
I really enjoyed creating and assembling Christmas Lights. I have a passion about getting a good Christmas Lights Display up and running. I have inspired both my neighbours to also put up lots of lights.
The way you display your lights is always important, they have to look ‘right’ for your house. I change my display, as much as I can, each year. For years this was my outlet for painting - ‘painting with lights’.
Christmas Lights can be expensive, so you have to watch all the specials that appear in the local shops. After Christmas clearances are a must.
Ebay can be a source of good Christmas Lights, at the right price. I have lots of patience when it comes to bidding on ebay, you must have set yourself a maximum bid price and stick to it. Do not get carried away and get into a bidding war with someone else who thinks that they must have the current item up for sale. I have found that there is always another item (usually the same), offered for sale. I sit tight till I finally get the item I want...usually at the right price.
Christmas Lights are fun to assemble and you spread the joy and message of Christmas to many people who come to look at the lights.
I have a short video clip of my 2009 Christmas Lights, and I will have them up again this year for folks to enjoy.
