Deck the bikes
Update: Here's Avenger decked with two strings of mini LED wreath lights from my local "small box" retailer:
I followed a highly technical procedure consisting of (1) wedging the battery packs under seat and (2) tying the strings around the frame. But given that I wouldn't trust the weatherproofing of this setup in a slightly damp breeze, I don't think I'll be trying it outside anytime soon. Ah well.
I then considered that Scooty-Puff has been ridden all of, what, three times? and isn't going anywhere until about May or so (*sniff*), so I moved it to a more permanent winter location in the living room (which seems surprisingly spacious since I got rid of the milk crates). I decorated it with the wreath my mom made for me last year:
Merry X-mas from Jennifer the Bike Lane Hottie!
(In other news, Avenger's really grimy. I don't think I've cleaned it since... When's the last time let it sit out in the rain? Oh boy. How do I clean all that stuff off without a garden hose?)
...
I think I have been sufficiently inspired.
Stay tuned.

In other news, this.

Can't wait to see what you have!
You should pose with your bike for holiday cards, like my parents do with their dog.
The update: It's beautiful!
One of my Walgreen's light strands survived the bus trip in the rain; the other one just wanly glows but appears to be on the way out.
Re: posing for holidays cards, that would be crazy. I mean, dressing up your pets and doing that is already borderline crazy, isn't it?
(And now my mom is going to email me a million pictures of their cat in reindeer antlers or something to get me back for saying that.)
oh sorry, hadn't seen this. cool!
