Please tell me, that these Faerie Lights are not quite as brrrrright. :-) Nahhhh, you don't have to *perjure* yourself and say that. I'm fine with them, because I have convinced myself, that they are not as, as, as, as, as bright. ("Auntie" sezzzzzz...) :-)
*-:~*-:~*-:~*-:~*
I see, that I hit a nerve, mentioning LED lights yesterday. :-) If something is truly better, than we must embrace it. But how can *green-house-gasses-kind-of-better*, be really BETTER, when headlight LED lights are blinding??? Where is the trade-off, there???

Our blogs are all-decked-out for the Christmas Holidays, and it's fun. But have you checked your blog load time, now that it's all-decked-out? :-)
*-:~*-:~*
All you do is Sign Out of your own blog, and...
.
Go to STOPWATCH site.
.
.
Follow the very easy instructions.
.
.
Most important instruction, is to SIGN OUT of your own blog, to get a true reading. *-:~*-:~* Mine came to 02.783. *-:~*-:~* Then I checked other blogs, and mine was the fastest. (FAST load time, makes it easy for your Dear Readers to enjoy your blog.)
*-:~*-:~*
Now I know,
not everyone *cares* about their Load Time. They fix their blog, the way they want it, and don't care if it is slow. Which is their perfect right. *Just saying this*, 'cause I usually get told that, by a couple of people, when I mention STOP WATCH. :-)))))))))))))))))) And if you feel that way, feel free to tell me so!!! :-) We are freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee in Blog Land.
*-:~*-:~*-:~*-:~*
Ohhhhhhh dearrrrrrrr... Are the Gremlins loose in Blog Land again?!? A couple of bloggers have had their Background size switched to smaller. Another had her Header Pic shrink. Mmmmmm.... Watch out! "The Great Computer Goddessssssssss In The Sky" is having a "bad-hair-day." -shiver- And we all know that icky things can happen, at such a time. Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeware... -giggles-
Actually, the December Full Moon is due soon. At Full-Moon-Time, I lay "odd happenings", to the Full Moon Effect. :-) *-:~*-:~* Don't get me wrong. I LOVE the Full Moon. But........... I'm also practical. ,-)
(Hmmm, did I already put this picture, somewhere on my blog? Oh well, I like it. I'll use it here too. :-))
My text Font is changed to a simpler-looking one. And I adjusted the Size too. Sometimes, my blog words look too-big-to-me. And sometimes, they look hard-to-read-to-me too. I dearly LOVE all the Pretty New Editor Blogger Fonts!!! Love 'em to pieces. But............. Some of them are awfully hard to read. If a Dear Reader finds your blog words (font) hard to read, do you want them to tell you? I do .
*-:~*-:~*
Because even though it might cut-into-my-blogging-fun, to change my Font to something simpler... I want people to READ and ENJOY my blog. Soooooo, I have to think of their comfort, first. *-:~*-:~* For my own good toooooooooo! What good is my fancy, pretty, adorable, cute Font doing ME, if people don't want to read it?!?

Well it's kinda hard to tell if the lights are less bright, but I'll agree with you:)
I haven't had the time to check my load time lately. Hopefully it's not too bad.
So much to do...so little time.
Onward and Upward!

Love your lights, photos and blogging tips and thoughts, Sezzz.
I do want to be told of any difficulties people have with my blog. I haven't checked my load time lately but I will now.
hugs n smiles,
Pam i am :)
I appreciated the help you gave me with my blog. Thanks. LED lights are a little cold looking for my taste.. just my 2 cents worth. Have a wonderful day!
I think your mantel and your Christmas tree look perfect:-) I've always loved a tree beside the fireplace, growing up that's where mom would always put our tree. I don't care for LED lights at all and I haven't purchased any as yet. They are just too dull for my taste, especially outside. The house across the street from us has blue LED lights on his house and you can barely see them. I have multi-coloured "normal" lights on mine and you can see them a mile away! hehe For a mantel, though, I think LED lights are great!!
I know what you mean about some of the fonts being very hard to read. I like to try a few different ones but my first thought is always if others will be able to read it easily. I guess the saying "the simpler the better" is true:-)
I'm thinking it's hard to really know how fast a blog page loads since it also depends on the computer you have, as well as if you have cable or high speed internet. For those who still have dial up, it can take forever to load a page even if there's barely anything on it. I haven't had any complaints yet about my blog taking too long to load even with all the pictures I post, so that's a good thing! lol Your page loads immediately for me:-) xoxo
I try to go for a font that others can read easily.
Yes, i would like for people to tell me if it is hard to read or a slow load time.
I checked out my load time and it was 1.498. I did sign out too. I don't have any header picture though and my blog isn't decorated for Christmas.
Doesn't the load time have something to do with how fast your computer is too? So wouldn't it be different for different people.?
I think your decorations are awesome. Your home looks like a Christmas village and I love it.
New Blogger issue I've been having. Now, it sometimes will not let me open blogs I am following. Yours is one of them. It tells me I am not enabled for it...or something like that. Sends me on a run-around to different websites. Then I discovered if I wait a few minutes, it works.

Well, I like your lights! And it's Very pretty in here Auntie. I'll go check out that link this weekend...Thanks...
Your blog is Super easy to read!

OKKK!!! I am going to sign out and try that stop watch thing! I never knew such a thing existed!
LOVE your mantle and tree!!!!! SO pretty!
For some reason I couldn't get it to come up after I clicked the 'go' thing. I'm not good at this.
Three weeks and a day until it's illegal to sell a regular light bulb. It's the stupidest thing ever imho. I am not going to be a happy camper when my stash runs out and I have to purchase one of those crappy lights.
I don't care about load time right now. =) See? I can say it. What's two extra seconds?
