"The best way to spread Christmas cheer..."

Soooooooo tonight we watched Elf for the second time in two weeks...only this time was different.  About 30 minutes into the movie, I get a text from my across the street neighbor that says, 

"Are y'all watching Elf by chance?"

It took me a minute and then it hit me.  

By the time I made it to the front porch I can see Heather, her husband, and their two little girls on their front porch.  And before I can open the front door I am laughing hysterically.  

You see, when we built our house, we had most rooms and our porches wired with speakers.  SO we had been broadcasting ELF to the entire neighborhood.  It was so loud they heard it from their back porch!  Needless to say, we had a good belly laugh from our porches....and I turned the speakers off.  

Guess it's true what they say, "The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear!"
