I sucked it up and pulled out the big ladder today.... I hung my Christmas lights all on my own!!!!
It was plenty scary when hanging the lights at the peak of the roof, but somehow I managed. I didn't hang lights last year since I was in the middle of moving into the house.

And yes, I noticed there's a chunk of lights that aren't working... I'll have to pull out the ladder again tomorrow and tweak them. They were working earlier. *sigh*
And the doorway... :) All pretty and welcoming :) (and note the "Wipe your paws" doormat ;-) )

I don't have my tree up. I'm still in a struggle over wanting a live tree, versus just using the artificial one I already have. When I figure that out, I'll post pictures, I'm sure! :)
Now to try and get pictures of the four of us for our Christmas cards! :)
