I got all 9 of the reindeer and the sleigh
out on the lawn along with some of the accompanying deocrations.
The pictures at left were actually taken the following Sunday night
(12/5), so they show additional decorations that were not placed out
by this time.
It always takes me a lot longer than I figure to
do these reindeer because of all the assembly required, and of course
the annual check to make sure all the lights work and fix any outages...
And of couse, when I got most of the reindeer out, but still did not
have them staked into the ground, it started to rain again, and I
got soaked staking them in. I know I completed something else
that afternoon once it stopped raining, but now I can't remember it.
Total
lights to date: 13,384

Well, it's been a couple weeks since I actually
did this work, so my memory is not the best as to what was done, but
I do remember the torrential rains in the morning, which kept me from
doing anything outside. I finally got outside and started working
by mid-afternoon.
