Some people respond to life in a milk toast, brown shoe fashion, regardless of the occasion. It doesn't matter if they have just come out of a performance at Radio City Hall or the seventh game of the World Series. You ask them, "So how was it?" With the shrug of their shoulders they say "It was ok."
Others, thank God, live life with flair and passion. They have a dream and pursue it. They make a statement about what they view as being important.
Make some time one night soon and get directions from Mapquest to 108 Shearbrook Dr., Mauldin, SC, 29662. Drive over and take a look at a home decorated for Christmas by a guy who is passionate. He has been intrigued by Christmas lights since he was eight years old. He always believed the house that Santa could spot from the sky the easiest, was the first place he stopped. If that's the case, you would like living on Shearbrook Drive. You'll find no less than 68 inflatables. I'm told by a neighbor of his that his goal is to have a 100. He'll give you some popcorn and even let you tour his backyard. It is beautiful in an overstated, Christmassy kind of way. I promise you will love it and so will your children or grandchildren. Ask to see his electric meter (I'm only kidding about that) because it has to be spinning faster than a top. My guess is, he doesn't care. We are all going to spend our money on something. He likes spending his on Christmas. I watched him greet people who stopped by. He is having a blast! I don't know what it is costing him, but I bet it is worth every penny to him. Have a Merry Christmas, and find something about which you can be passionate too.
