Really, I'm Not a Scrooge

[indianafrank]

I have great neighbors. We get on each other all the time. It’s been about a week and I didn’t hear from one of them, Dan, so yesterday I called him.
Me. “Why haven’t you called me?”
Dan. “I’ve been real busy.”
Me. “You never talk to me anymore.”
Dan. “Honestly, between my daughters games, and work, back and forth to the Mall. I had no time.”
Me. “Those are excuses.
Dan. “No honestly.”
Me. “You seem different.”
Dan. “I’m just tired. Really.”
Me. “Have you found another neighbor?”
Now I love the holiday season. I’m like a kid again. But…I stopped putting lights around the house about 30 years ago. I’m the only house in the development of 110 homes that doesn’t light up the outside of his home. My neighbors are always busting me about that.
I keep telling them that I want to keep my tradition of not having lights.
About 11 pm last night I hear noise outside my front door. I looked out the window, and Dan, and 2 other pain in the ass neighbors, are just finishing decorating my house with lights.
I opened the door and Dan says.
“This is for busting my chops on the phone earlier. It’s called payback.”
Honestly, I’m not a Scrooge.

No one can be Scrooge. He’s one of the coolest cats on the forum.
Sounds like fun neighbors to have

What you should do now is leave the lights up all year long...and on every night.
