Almost everyone decorated their house back then even if it was only a wreath on the front door.Well tonight the wife and I went looking at Christmas lights and it was so disappointing. The vast majority of houses did not even have one of those cheap projector lights going. When we did see one, there was usually a few around it decorated making little island of Christmas cheer in a sea of bland. We had to drive down to Nickols Hills (sp) to see many homes decorated. They even had hay rides taking kids thru to see the lights. Most other places, dark and dreary.I am glad I grew up when I did. Even though we did not have much money we still got to enjoy things that many modern kids miss out on. Oh and if you think kids nowadays would not enjoys seeing the lights, there is a business on south Santa Fe in Edmond that goes all out. We picked up some Arby's and set in the parking lot watching the little kids go nuts over the lights. Lots of parents bring their children and walk through the big display. You can see the excitement from the kids.</blockquote>
