O.K. I need your help. The house we are in right now is a cute cape cod style. Not my forever house but charming nonetheless. The cape cod windows were crying out for christmas wreaths and, since I had some - patiently waiting in blue bins- I was happy to oblige. But here's the rub. The Christmas wreaths were crying out for little candles on either side of them. You know -so that they could pretend that they really are in cape cod - in the 1800's or something. But since this house is a rental [while we sell our North Salt Lake house (patience, patience)] it didn't make sense to invest in house-specific Christmas decorations. I compromised. I bought super cheap electric candles. I thought that this was such a good idea - until evening turned to night and revealed the true character of my cheap-o candles. They look nothing like candles in the dark - more like two beady little monster eyes peering out all of my cape cod windows. Please advise. The choices are: 1) Take them down! Monster eyes are for another holiday altogether. 2) Leave them up! They look good at dusk and dawn and they make the wreaths happy. 3) Go Shopping! Take the bolt out of your wallet and invest in some candles that look like candles.
I can't wait for the answer!

'Tis the season to save. I say keep what you have and day dream about your forever house and all the goodies that you will get to decorate with there.
