Deck the holly with ... uhhh ...
Gainesville's Christmas tree. That sucker is a Great Honkin' Big Holly Tree. Very dense foliage.
Gotta figure, as i've remarked before, that whoever gets to put the lights up and take 'em down must be on his supervisor's Naughty List...

Not even duct tape can fix stupid. But it can muffle the noise.

Err -- I think I'm failing this particular Rorschach test...
As opposed to these more obvious naughty Christmas lights in Brighton.

Re: Deck the holly with ... uhhh ...
I think that Fairportfan is referring to the difficulty quotient of putting up these lights, and wondering what the person had done to be given such a monumental task, rather than imply that the lights themselves were somehow naughty...Atomic wrote:Err -- I think I'm failing this particular Rorschach test...

That is amazing. Gainesville's Big Ol' Tree is certainly impressive, but those lights in Brighton are amazing.Atomic wrote:...these more obvious naughty Christmas lights in Brighton.

Prickly leaves.
Having to put all those lights up among them.

OK -- a night's sleep and a re-read (after coffee) delivers the clue. Lovely display, but harsh work to put it up!Fairportfan wrote:Holly.

Could be worse... it's too cold there for them to have decided to decorate a manchineel.Atomic wrote:OK -- a night's sleep and a re-read (after coffee) delivers the clue. Lovely display, but harsh work to put it up!Fairportfan wrote:Holly.

All those sparkley jewel-like lights, like a visual song: annealed diamonds in a holly, holy.

I know that tree! And also that view of it that you're taking pictures from.
