Ugly Christmas Lights

So the holiday season is just around the corner and at Hobby Lobby it has already hit. All our seasonal items are out and ready to go and customers are already stocking up on lights and decorations. So while I was at work it hit me. Why not do my next blog post about Christmas lights? (We are in the lighting unit in my class and all posts need to have something to do with lighting.) When I got home I surfed through the web trying to figure out what about Christmas lights would people find interesting. Other uses for Christmas lights? How to decorate with Christmas lights? What types of Christmas lights are out there? Nah, that's boring. Of course when I came across a website called Ugly Christmas Lights, I knew that is what I had to cover. Here are just a few of the photos I came across. They are hilarious!

Did We forget an important part?



Sure their yard looks um, good. But look at that beautiful house in the background
with no decoration on it at all.

 I was trying to achieve a minimalistic look this year.

 Look at that rope lighting, really enhances that tree.

Those people must love light up piggies in Santa suits.
Cute or creepy?

Wowza. They must have a lot of storage space in the off season.
You see the house? Way back yonder?

 Can you guess what doesn't belong?

Santa has raindeer and elves and apparently pet elephants too.

 I love the holidays, just not that much.

How would you like to get that for your sweet sixteen?

An army has formed!!!! 

Remember all those festive plastic light up figurines that you used to find in stores?
Yeah....they bought them all. No wonder I can't find any.

 Hey now there's nothing wrong with this at all.

Festive decorating rule #5: When decorating your house, you must not forget
the Porta John sitting on your curb.
