[VAL] Tis the season

[Joann Wheatley <jwheatle@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have been a scrooge for too long so I went and bought about 500 yards 
of various Christmas lights and have started wrapping the little '56 
Bubble, using copious amounts of aluminum colored duck (or duct - take 
your choice). It dawned on me that there just might be a better way to 
hand or string the lights. I have the little blinkie ones and the some 
of the ribbons. Does anyone have some experience with doing that? I've 
seen the Christmas cards of the trailer outlined in lights but I think 
it would take a lot of duct tape to do that. Is the duck tape going to 
be the pits to remove? There's just something about that trailer that 
cried out "Light me up, mom!". I plan to put two visiting nieces in it 
for a 2 week visit and the trailer is in the open carport and will be 
the most nifty Christmas decoration on the block if I can pull it off. 
Plus, it'll be fun to watch the girls' faces when they see their 
live-in Christmas present.
