Extension Cords

18 years ago

I just saw the cutest beer commercial, with a guy using extension cords so he could carry a TV to the store to buy beer.

The part I liked best--one of the "extension cords" was a strand of Christmas lights!

That's something I might have to consider in holiday decorating next year.

I have a friend who lights her entertainment center with rope lights. It really looks nice.

My mom keeps a string of white Christmas lights up on her back deck all year round. They look very pretty and fit every season. I've seen some strings of lights in clever shapes I'd love to try in my kitchen or on my patio -- jalapeno peppers, flowers, cactuses. Very cute, but not essential!
