I live in a pretty quite neighborhood. It's the kind of place that you'd have a hard time finding if you had a GPS tracking devise and exact directions.
During the winter, like now, you can kinda sorta see the road just below us. The trees have lost enough leaves that you can see the lights of the houses down there and sometimes even hear the people who live there talking if they are outside and the wind is blowing in just the right way.
One of our down-the-hill neighbors puts out a 'National Lampoon Christmas Vacation' style display on their house and in their yard every year. It's hard to miss and occassionally if I walk by certain windows in my house and catch the light from the corner of my eye, I think for a second that the woods behind my house are on fire.
The couple that live there spent last weekend putting out the display. I was out in my yard and could hear their voices, but not make out what they were saying. Then all of the sudden I heard a crash and a string of what sounded like some serious cursing.
This was getting interesting. I kept working in the yard.
A couple of minutes later the voices were sounding decidedly irritated and angry. But the work continued interspersed with loud phrases that floated up the hill and through the trees. Phrases like, 'Just hand me the d*mn hammer' and 'Did you plug the f*ckin thing in?'.
By the end of the weekend the display was up and out and fully lit. As far as I know they aren't in divorce court yet.
Merry Christmas!
