If you go on Sony's website and research the Wega problems, they have pictures of some of the light engine failures. It costs about $1,800 to replace the light engine, so it's considered not worth fixing if this goes out. We're researching for the day it's no longer viewable. The problem is supposed to get progressively worse once it starts. It could last 2 more days or 2 more years according to the Sony authorized repair people we have consulted.

Thanks for the information! We will watch for that. We've had one bulb go out - but understandable as hubby watches it all day/evening every day for the past 5 years. So far, so good (again, fingers crossed). Mom has a 42 inch Sony Wega which has yet to have the bulb replaced - I imagine it will go out soon as her TV is four years old.

Thanks again for the heads up!

Right after the cleaning woman comes, I will set out the tree, and my angels. I'll buy the wreath this week. My neighbor has one candle light in each window and it's just beautiful. I think I'll copy him. I hope he doesn't mind - they say imitation is the highest form of flattery. I'm going to look for red candle lights.

I think the candles in the windows are beautiful too. There are quite a few people who do that around here. He probably won't even think you're copying him.

I have not decorated, matter of fact I was buying a new tree this year and I was out the day after Thanksgiving went to Sears. My darling husband says we will buy it next week well next week came and they are sold out.. Can you believe it!! Most of the stores by me Loews , Home Depot are all sold out of trees. What its the first week of December. I always remember the stores having an after Christmas sale. Looks like they don't order as much these days..

I hope to decorate by next week... and post photos.. I can't wait to see everyone's decorations..

HEY! Don't those boys go to school! I know you are so happy to have them with you!

My little lighted wreath is on my porch by the front door. I think that is the only outside decorating we will do. I put the tree up this weekend, so I'm pretty much done.

They are home schooled this year. They have done so much traveling to churches in preparation to go to Scotland, they had to have something flexible. I have never been a fan of home schooling, but I must admit my opinion has changed! It is so organized now, and the curriculum is great. Rachel does an unbelievable job of teaching them, and it helps that they learn easily.

...and I'm so glad to get to spend so much time with them

Judy, if your red candles emote red light - your neighbor might get a different idea (red light district???)

I FINALLY have my Christmas tree up! Whooo Hooo! I don't think we are going to get the outdoor lights up this year - oh well, maybe next year!

First on the street to have Christmas decorations up outside lol

A blowup snowman and a reindeer made of twigs with an animated head that turns from side to side. They both light up at night. I will work on the rest of the decorations after I get my parents moved after the 1st!
