Leaf blowers and Christmas lights

Today is Vetrans day and we all had the day off at our house, even daycare was closed.  We went off in search of a leaf blower, which as you can see from the pic yesterday, we desperately needed.  We started our search at Lowes.  While we were at the store I again pleaded my case for buying some Christmas tree lights since I want to have a real tree this year.  He wanted to know why I was so focused on getting a real tree this year, I replied with 'the same reason you are so focused on sugaring THIS year'.  Touche (if that is how it is spelled).  I got my way, we bought two boxes of lights.
