Programmable Christmas lights with WLED and LED pixels have made Christmas lighting more festive than ever. The colors and patters I can create are so much fun, and I just have a pretty basic setup. Our Christmas tree has 10 different effects that change every 10 minutes and the house has 14 different effects that […]
When you’re starting out with LED pixels (programmable Christmas lights) not everyone is ready to go all in and spend big bucks on pixel mounting strips or other more permanent installs. Instead, you can use cheap gutter clips. Grab some universal gutter clips which can be found at Target, Lowes, Home Depot, or other stores. […]
This year, I put up some programmable LED Christmas lights. I’ve been wanting to give this a try for a while, and took the leap this year. I had to learn a few things but, I’m happy with the outcome. With these lights I can choose the colors, the effect, and so much more with […]
I like decorating for Christmas, but these lights are at a whole different level. This is Trista Lights in Minnetrista MN and it’s pretty cool. Granted, I’m not sure I’d ever want my house to be this over the top. It’s cool, but I’m not sure it’s Christmas lights as much is it is a […]

Soon it will be family, then Christmas, and before I’m ready for it, […]
We’ve been seeing those videos of people wrapping cats for Christmas so we decided to try it ourselves with our kitten. Overall, I call it a success. He was pretty much wrapped, didn’t draw any blood, and, for the most part, allowed me to do whatever. This turned out much better than we expected.
Back in 2004, I wrote down some ideas on how to keep a cat out of our Christmas tree. As our kitten grew older, the issue went away. However, this year we have a new kitten so it’s top of mind again. Lucky for us, there have been some good advancements over the years. The […]
I always have good intentions to do something creative, but this year I actually got a few projects done. One is a reversible scarecrow snowman that I my wife saw on Pinterest. It’s about three feet tall and has weathered the weather pretty well so far as it sits outside our front door. The clothes pins […]
