It’s Monday. Gloomy and windy, that pretty much describes what the weekend was like here in Illinois. The girlfriend and I went out for a drive Saturday night to check out Christmas lights. I don’t know if it’s the mild winter we’ve had so far, but the amount of people decorating their homes this year is impressive. We ended up out in Orland Park and came across the house pictured above. There’s always one house in the neighborhood that goes all-out and without a doubt this was it! Once you get over the shock of such a considerable display, my first thought is always—where the hell do they store all this crap for 11 months out of the year? The majority of the items are blow-molded plastic figures and they don’t collapse or fold in any way, so they must take up a ton of space to store them all. But impressive it was.
We had a relaxing Sunday. I caught the Bears and Lions game and they surprised everyone by not just winning, but killing the Lions 13-28! Instead of falling apart in the second half, the Bears cranked up the energy and took advantage of mistakes made by the Lions. My only question is, where was this intensity for the first three-quarters of the season?
Lights Everywhere
