Is anybody thinking about how they are going to do their house yet?

Yes I am! I absolutely LOVE Christmas!
There is a contest in my community and the winner gets $100 gift card.
I have been the champ the last 2 years in a row and am going for the hat trick this year!
I always do something different and add something to the Xmas light collection!

Each year I am finging ways to shortcut or lessen the burden. Like this year I already thought about using a long pole instead of a ladder at the peaks.

My second least favorite day of the year is the day I have to take my Christmas lights down. I will give you ONE GUESS what my least favorite day of the year is. LOL. I love Christmas, I just hate dealing with the lights. I start dreading it on October 1st every year. LOL.

My house was on the front page of the newspaper about 10 years ago because of how many lights I put on my house....about 20,000 in all. The very next year my house was vandalized by some people and they ripped over half my lights down.:cry2: I never really got into after that. I put up a few some years but nothing too big.

I gotta get through Thanksgiving first and see if I can get on a ladder after all that food., lol

BTW...I used to start hanging them the day after Halloween.

I enjoy putting them up, I do not look forward to untangling them each year! Seems no matter how carful you are putting them away, they find a way to get tangled! Would like to do a little more with the lights this year for the kids.

Was talkin about this last night at a party. In fact I went to last years "post your Christmas lights" thread to show them my house. Funny this was posted today.

That's kind of where I'm at, I'm thinking of going big this year for my 3 year old.

Absolutely! And our kids, being 9,10,11 years old are going to start to Grow out of it.. But they still love it for the time being, so it would be cool to light up the whole street. Lol.

Really I'm just using my kids to give me an excuse to act like Clark Griswold :-)

Already have some more stuff I picked up over the year to add to this.

Lights go up day after turkey day. I have been known to unplug neighbors lights if they are on before that.

How much did your electric bill go up because of the lights?

It takes about 20 strings to do this house, and it is a bitch to do, trust me. But well worth it. Th highest peak we have is over 30' in the air, so I have to have a guy help me, I am afraid of heights and my old ass ain't climbing up there....LOL....in any case, we are replacing all the light strings this year, as ten Christmases in this place they are starting to show some wear on them. Chrissie has requested they go up early this year so I will do them the week before Thanksgiving but leave them dark till after the holiday, then flip them on..here is the house from last year....I am a purist....less is more around here.....please post up pics of your houses from years gone by..always fun to see what people do....

I love it. Maybe I can talk my husband into doing something like this. Can it be Christmas time already.

Fuck outside Christmas light!! My dad ruined that for me growing up. We put lil trinkets up around the house and do like 4 strands of lights on our tree (real!) I hate the holidays. All the family fakes are in full effect with their hands out. Bitch! I havent seen you in a year. How about a hand shake and a promise I wont punch u in the face while we are here.

[hpboats83]

Just leave a bike behind his truck with battery operated Christmas lights, he will loose it.

So If we get 20 people to show up with 10-20 strands each, we put them up, you take them down, you're in?? :D

[niceguyeddie]

I usually just put a wreath on the door and call it a day.

[niceguyeddie]

Btw- I have a buddy that installs lighting in OC and provides lights and decorations (if you don't have your own). If anyone is interested, ill pass along his info.

You're a pretty good sport, I guess?

[westair]

I'll put lights up after thanksgiving, but I don't want to hear or see anything Christmas until then! Then I make my one and only visit to a shopping mall for the year!
