Hey everyone: this is the last post here. Facebook is a real pain for this, so head on over to Instagram and find us at Oregon_hill_christmas_house.

Candy cane done.

Our friend ._.eye is cranking out some really amazing spooky art (and he also does really amazing non-spooky art like portraits of our cats). Check him out, give him a a follow, support your local artists.

And the final step: cleaning and air drying the stakes so they aren't too funky next year.

Day 2: all done but the upstairs. Again, so much help from amazing neighbors, friends, and family.

Takedown: Day 1. A tornado of friends, family, and neighbors blew through. All the blow molds packed away and a lot of other lights packed or drying out.

We put out a mailbox in 2011 for letters to Santa, thinking a few kids on the block would write and we would write back. This has become something we never imagined it would be, and likely the best thing we do all year. Santa never discusses presents, has a sweet wax seal, and mostly tells very weird stories about antics at the North Pole. Easily my favorite part of Christmas.

Saved the best christmas movie for last...

The annual trip to the Brook Road Post Office to recycle lights.
