Happy fucking holidays

Even though I ponied up the extra cash for brand-name, officially sanctioned outdoor Christmas lights last year, we still had a problem with half the lights on the strand we hung on the window box going out periodically.   So I wasn't really surprised when half the strand went out again this year, but I was sad that the remedy I discovered last winter -- lifting the cover on the outdoor outlet and letting it slam down on the strand's plug -- no longer seemed to be working.   We mounted a more careful investigation and found that one of the bulbs was missing.

Huh, no big deal.  Some replacements came with the box.

Then I noticed there was more than one bulb missing.

More than two.

More than three.

Six of our bulbs are missing off of one strand of lights.  I put those lights up myself, and I am positive all the bulbs were in place at the time.  So, either the six bulbs entered into a suicide pact and jumped to their deaths on the cold, hard sidewalk, or.... someone fucking stole our Christmas lights.

Dear Christmas thief: you are officially on my shit list, along with the neighbor who refuses to make use of his designated, reserved parking space and the person who stole my tulips.

Who does that?! That is a hard crime to pull off; those little bulbs are difficult to yank out. Ugh. That is the type of thing that sucks the holiday spirit right out of you.

I bet I know who it was.

What a lousy thing to do! Who steals Christmas light bulbs?? Lame. I'm sorry that happened!

Someone stole bulbs off your lights?! That calls for a Christmas smackdown, for sure.
