may be habit forming

christmas lights. the griswold's are across the street. creepy purple house is behind us one house over. blinky red and white lights are directly behind us. strung up on their deck railing. looks like a fifth grader strung them up. but they didn't. we saw the mom hanging them. and will notices every. single. one. it's on. it's off. it's on. it's off. and they just took down their blinky orange halloween lights. a few days ago. lucky us. it's all he talks about. he wakes up in the morning. he asks about them. when he wakes up from his nap it's dark out. he asks about them. last night we threw the kids in the car. for a light tour. around the neighborhood. and will hasn't stopped talking about the santa. that waves his arm. like this [waving his arm held out straight]. all. day. long. guess where we're going tonight.
