You need any fruitcake?

BTW, got any Christmas lights or Grinches up?

Actually, I started unwinding strings and such Friday; unfortunately, the first step up the ladder gave me a serious case of vertigo, as mentioned here. For the moment, I am contemplating alternate arrangements that don't require me to be nine feet tall; I have not yet made a decision on How To Do It.

Fruitcake, of course, is always desirable. (Note to readers: Do not scoff. She comes up with a high-quality product.)

Do you have Becky & family coming down? As I recall, they got the lights down for you-ergo they can put them back up. Or you can borrow my firstborn-provided you *keep* him.
Fruitcake is awaiting your arrival.

So far as I know, no one is coming down this year.

So, when do you want my firstborn? Come to think of it, you can have the last born too. The oldest was actually somewhat handy around here this year-we had a boom lift delivered to hang lights with and he thought it was really cool. However, don't let him in your attic. He *jumped* from a ledge in the attic about 3 feet down and cracked the ceiling nicely. At least it's in the garage.
He can even deliver fruitcakes-let me know when.
BTW, want fudge too?

No one gets into my attic. Period.

I'm going to see if I can get that six-foot tree into a position where (1) I can actually keep it in position and (2) it won't kill me to do so. If that fails, then we go to Plan J-P.

Charles, when the wife went shopping Friday, she found an extension pole and clips that would let you hang the lights while standing on the ground. It extends out to 11 feet. She found it at Garden Ridge off of I-40 and McArthur.
