Christmas lights! Who needs 'em... ME!

My mom sent me this email and it totally cracked me up! It's just a little too close to home! We do not have our christmas lights up and I hate it! Joe is afraid of heights and we have a crappy ladder or I'd do it myself! My kids keep asking me about it and that's driving me more nuts than not having the dang lights up!
It's a letter from some guy to his wife. It might as well be from my husband to me!

Hi Sweetheart,

I am sorry about getting into an argument about putting up the
Christmas lights.
I guess that sometimes I feel like you are pushing me too hard when
you want something.
I realize that I was wrong and I am apologizing for being such a
hard-headed guy.
All I want is for you to be happy and be able to enjoy the holiday
season.
Nothing brightens the Christmas spirit like Christmas lights!
I took the time to hang the lights for you today and now I will be off
to the golf course.

Again, I am very sorry for the way I acted yesterday.


I'll be home later.


Love you......

Haha! That is awesome :-)
Good thing there is some random guy that I pay to put up lights or I would still be hearing about it from my kids.

What a crackup! We don't have lights this year either with Devin's surgery! I let the kids put a tree in their room instead!

That's great! We dont' have our lights up yet either and it's starting to become a sore spot. I have to show this to Jason!

We have lights, but half of them are out and Greg says he's not getting up there again! So I guess we'll make do...

Keith will help anyone who needs lights up. He is not afraid of heights. I guess I am loaning him out if youneed him. Is that weird?
