The Long View

DEAR MICHELLE: First off, congrats to you both for the big win. Although I didn’t vote for you, I’m happy for you and your family and wish you the best. Also, I’m glad the whole election thing is over! LOL!

My question is this: With the holidays fast approaching, my husband and I are thinking of maybe reducing the number of outside lights on the house. We usually “do it up” in grand style with a blinking Santa and reindeer on the rooftop, and an animated Frosty on the front lawn. But this year, with the economy and energy prices, it seems to him like it’s a bad idea. Myself, I think we should “go big” and add a manger scene and some adorable flashing elves, to keep the spirits up in the neighborhood and Christmas cheer soaring.
