Making spirits bright!

I've always adored Christmas lights. I was the one who lugged the ladder from the garage and climbed onto our roof each season. Staple gun in hand, I'd string lights along the ridge lines and gutters. In my book, there was no better pre-holiday bit of preparation. Creating something colorful to welcome the holiday, guests and family members into our home. It was my own little light-, memory-filled, magical world. Above what often felt/was chaotic down below.

Years later when we moved to a three-story house with a much steeper roof, I outgrew the urge to perch high above the ground.  We used a local group to hang icicle lights on the gutters.  It was spectacular! A little like Christmas Vacation/a LOT like Christmas Vacation. But because the installation was dangerous and our gutters required repainting each year, the icicles were history after two seasons.  

Discouraged but not dissuaded, I found another lighting option.  Installation took only a few moments AND with a flip of a switch, snowflakes fell from the sky, down across the house and onto the ground.  It, too, was magical.  MR CHRISTMAS PANORAMIC PROJECTOR SAVED CHRISTMAS!  Almost like being back in the Midwest without the need to shovel.  

If you, too, love holiday lights AND are interested in a super simple alternative to struggling with stringing or stapling, here's what you need to know: EVERY MR CPP source was out of stock today when I searched for an additional projector.  All sources...except one.  Click below to connect.

Wowlights 

Go get 'em, group!

Full disclosure notation:  My snowflakes are not nearly as crisp as those in this ad.  I'm going outside right now to see if there's some special adjustment required or if this is a bit of Photoshop trickery. Whatever, I love my somewhat blurred snowflake lights. And no one has died putting them up.
