I usrd to know the family that owned .Mammoth mountain (a ski resort area) they were very well to do, they lived in .California by .Bishop they always had a bunch of beautiful scenic decorations, I would not have liked to pay for their electric bills those months but it was always the same thing year after year, darn rich people, one of the churches around here had a tree of lights but it got to be so expensive with having to hire security and people were ripping them off anyway, it was reaal nice though, thry had a bunch of scenic booths even my dr sang in the choir a couple of nigh, he did a lot for the church and for the kids. I probably will not decorate this year. My .Son is in iraq and my .Daughter will be working and will probably go to her b/f parents house for christmas so it will probably be just my .Hubby and me and my two dogs and the cat, we will brobably just go to this buffet as we have a gift certificate from them. I will miss the smell of the christmas tree but it is just to hard for me to cook a big meal. I am just a scrooge this year with not much holiday spirit, lol. I even have my christmas shopping done, except for the dogs.
