Let there be light (sort of)

I'm not really sure what happened to my exterior Christmas lights, but when I took them out of storage this year, most of them didn't work. I stored them just as carefully as I always have, but for some reason many of the strands went kaput. I tried repairing them, but had very little success. I salvaged a few strands and put up a meager display. I know it's not a competition, but I don't want people to think Charlie Brown lives here either. My house will not be mistaken for the Griswold house from The Christmas Vacation movie, but we Meyers have no reason to be ashamed of our humble Christmas light display. No Scrooges live in this house! Let there be light... sort of.
