Blabberings Of A Taciturn

Christmas is only a couple of days away, less than a month by the time of this writing, and people are packed in malls trying to buy Christmas decors and food to prepare for the Noche Buena.

Malls are looking vibrant with colorful Christmas decorations as well as Christmas lights for sale. Buyers crowding the Christmas lights section choosing and testing what light decoration to buy.

It's like a tradition to put Christmas lights as part of this joyous event.

We went to the mall for the sole purpose of just going out of the house once in a while. It's boring staying inside the house for 2 days, sleeping and staring at the computer. Getting a whiff of fresh air to revitalize the body is good (though it's not that fresh anymore).

Anway, we passed by the section of the mall where they sell Christmas ornaments, Christmas trees, and other Christmas stuff.

I for one doesn't like putting Christmas stuff in the house. I don't really know, I just don't feel and like to. However, the missus likes these kinds of stuff. And I thought, why not go for a change for once (Take note on the emphasis on once.. LOL).

I decided to buy several Christmas lights for the house. Looking around, I found some Christmas tube lights which are very good and appropriate for putting outside since these kinds of light doesn't easily get wet. As the lights were tested, other customers found out that it was beautiful. In fact, people doesn't have enough idea on what actually were the use of those tubes on the floor until we bought some. We settled for various color tube lights.

These Christmas tube lights consists of tiny light bulbs encase in a plastic tubing. With these construction, it can easily bend around and appropriate for outside use.

We also bought some Santa-on-sleigh, perfect for putting in doors. We also bought some regular Christmas lights serving as extension for the Santa-on-sleigh lights.

At home, we mount the tube lights we bought around the tree outside the house and positioned Santa above the door. We had trouble layouting the regular Christmas lights on the windows. After a while, to hell with it, just hang them around the windows, there's no point in actually layout it so hard.

We also attached the old Christmas lights we had last year. We eventually finished putting the Christmas lights outside and it's time to turn them on. The arrangement looked pretty good and the Christmas tube lights were brighter than what I expected.

Now, we wait for Noche Buena. Can't wait for the food which will be prepared this Christmas. Happy Holidays everyone.
