'tis The Season

So once again I have strung our Christmas lights, so that our house is now, officially, "festive."



It's the same basic gag every year, or has been so far, with our helpful reindeer getting "caught up" in the festivities, only to be horribly trapped under high-voltage wires, get slowly but surely spot-burned by the bulbs as they heat up each night, and, ultimately, starve to death.



Except this year, our newest ornament, a large concrete Lawn Buddha, gets to join in the fun as well!

Of course, one assumes the Buddha is actually dead, and looking down on all this frivolity from the ethereal plane.
