Christmas Lights Hats

Every December the same person goes up the ladder. They test every strand on the garage floor, find that half of one is dark, and spend an evening hunting a single bulb. They know the outdoor outlet by heart, and they know the breaker only trips when it rains. Last January they packed the lights away in a hurry, and this year they found out who tangled them. These Christmas lights hats are for that person. There is the vow to find the one dead bulb, the forty thousand lights on one outlet, the white-versus-colored argument that splits every street, and a couple of lines borrowed from the most quoted Christmas light display in film. The same person turns off every lamp in the house from January to November, which is its own joke. Embroidered, unstructured dad hats, made to order, with red, green and gold thread. A good gift for whoever does the lights in your family, and a good hat for the ladder.
