Part 3 of the n part series here. I really wish I could say 3 of 3, but I know this isn't the case with Thanksgiving still a week away. There will be more, I almost guarantee.
This is a house next door to one of Nick's friends. I first noticed the house about 2 weeks ago when I stopped by the friend's for a bit. The friend's father, we will call him Dave, told me this occurs every year. The family hires a professional to come out and put lights on, and it happens in early November every year. The night I first observed the lights was apparently the first night they were actually turned on.
2 things. First, I hate professional light displays in a neighborhood. Part of the spirit is doing the lights yourself. Second, why do you feel the need to then turn them on? Dave said he doesn't even bother anymore, as there is no point. Sadly, I agree.
Decorations like this have no character either. Professionally done means your house will look like every other house on the street. Somewhere, individuality dies a slow, but very bright death.
Clark would be sad.
