Many take dim view of new-fangled Christmas lights

22 hours ago ago from

NORMAN, Okla. - To Steven Walls, it's beginning to look nothing like Christmas, anywhere he goes. While more people make the switch to energy-efficient lights for their holiday decorations, Walls this year insisted on decorating with the old-style, torpedo-shaped Christmas lights his family has put up for years.
