You could string the same lights as you did last year and look like everyone else on your block, or you could do something that actually reflects your style and personality. The holidays come only once a year, and if that's not motivation enough, well, you and I both know that those decorations won't come down for at least a few weeks after Christmas, if not longer. If you had to wear the same thing week after week, you wouldn't choose something that everyone else was wearing, so why subject your house to the same situation?
