Xmas lights anyone
do you go whole hog on the lights, or just a few strands. we have a guy up the street that does his yard up like a circus, theres traffic jams in front of his house. it looks awesome! He's a retired america fellow, takes him two weeks straight to set it all up. he's got farrous wheels, marrygo rounds. you would have to see it to believe it. I just do my 10' blue spruce out front, don't do as much as I use too. how about you?

I've got hundreds of old strings of lights. Many from the 1950's. All are in excellent condition. This year I am decorating the entire house in different color groups depending on what side of the house you are on. Like, red and green on the garage, and blue and green on the darkest side of the house, etc. Hopefully, I wont attract airplanes!
Merry Christmas!

I would love to do stuff like that, but I am either to lazy or never have the money for lights. We do have some crazy people here though, got one who covers everything, even the lawn. There was a story in the paper a few years back about some guy whose wife went blind(can't remember how) and couldn't see the lights he use to put up. He decided to put up so many lights that she wouldn't have to see them but be able to feel all the warmth generated by the lights. We went up to see it, it was awesome, don't know if he still does it or not.

I'm a grinch too. I don't put up any lights or a tree. In fact I hate Christmas lights, I think they are a distraction for people driving on the road. And all of the Christmas music they play on the radio drives me crazy, and if I see one more of those stupid Christmas movies that every channel shows 24 hours a day, I will go insane. I think Christmas has become too commercialized, and people think all Christmas is about getting presents. I hate the stupid Santa Clauses ringing bells in front of stores, and if one more overly cheerful person comes up to me and says Merry Christmas, I think I will go crazy and kill them.
I guess what I am trying to say is, I need a hug.

P.S. MERRY FRIGGIN' CHRISTMAS!

I like putting up lights, but I always wait too long and then it snows and gets too cold. So I'm just scabbing a string of lights here and there after work before it gets too dark. I'm just opposed to putting up lights before Thanksgiving, so naturally I end up stringing lights in a blizzard.
