Christmas Lights

We are having a small year for Christmas lights. We have fake evergreen garland (wound about the part of the porch that frames the door) threaded with purple and white lights. The purple lights are for Advent; we'll light the white ones during Christmas proper. We also have a boy scout wreath on the front door (thank you, Mxyl). And the outdoor nativity, of course.

We are much more decorated inside, but I do feel the outside could be more festive.

So maybe next year we could do something like this:

Or perhaps this, if you don't think it's too much.

Hmm, we have all year to plan...and get the degree in computer science...
