....so I could put Christmas lights all over my boat and join one of the
Christmas Parades on the lake or in the sound. I'd even put a lighted
Nativity Scene on the bow, just so people wouldn't forget the reason we
celebrate the Holiday.

But, I don't. So I have to settle with putting the Christmas lights on the
house. And I just finished! Yippee! Christmas is a time of togetherness and
sharing. And I think a nicely lighted front yard and house says just that
to all who pass by.

You should be ashamed of yourself. This is nothing but a blatant troll,
and you know it. And to think you're one of the first ones to **** on
someone for doing just this.

I usually put up the Stereo speakers outside and play Christmas music
(choirs) have done so for the past 8 yr.s and plenty of compliments,
and no complaints!

Why not start a lighted boat parade tradition back in MD?

The first year or two would be small, but with a little PR and
determination you'd have something really worthwhile before you
realized it.

It's not too late this year to put holiday lights on your boat,
including a nativity scene if you're so inclined, and stage a parade
prior to the heart of the holiday season.

Are you coming up this way to visit your relatives for the holidays? If
so, I'll leave the lights on the boat and take your family for a 1-boat
parade. :-)

Can't promise a nativity scene on the bow, however.

One of my brothers, an atheist, had a sticker on his car reading, "So many
Christians, so few lions." I told him if he had some balls he'd get one
saying, "So many Muslims, so few virgins." Apparently he wasn't worried
that Christians would bomb his Acura.

Once November 15th hits, the doors to the boatel are closed for the season.
The aisle way is filled with boats from the slips, and the hatches are
battened for winter. It gets *cold* here!

I wish it didn't get so cold. I think a Christmas Parade of boats would be
fun with Christmas lights twinkling all over the water. Cool!

Not this season. May come up next summer and spend a week or so. If so,
I'll surely give you a shout.

We used to play for peanuts in the fall when I was up north. We walked
the course and lost a lot of balls in the leaves - not just off the
fairway. I think 18 holes was maybe $10 for a course that would
normally be $35 + cart. Since it was slow we would pack a small rod in
the bag and catch a few bass and bluegill in the lakes between shots. I
miss that, but not the weather that soon followed.
