OT- Christmas Lights (pics)
So tis the season for Christmas decorations. Thought we could do a thread to show our decorations and maybe some of the impressive neighbors. We all live in very different places and I am sure some of us have very impressive decor. So have it.
I'll kick it off with one of my friends house. Very simple but nice.

ok...THIS WAS SENT TO ME IN EMAIL...
But it may give someone here ideas for next year!!
Well, there is good news and bad news about my Christmas decorations this year.
Good news is that I truly out did myself this year with my Christmas decorations. The bad news is that I had to take him down after 2 days. I had more people come screaming up to my house than ever. Great stories.
But two things made me take it down. First, the cops advised me that it would cause traffic accidents as they almost wrecked when they drove by. Second, a 55 year old lady grabbed the 75 pound ladder almost killed herself putting it against my house and didn't realize it was fake until she climbed to the top (she was not happy). By the way, she was one of many people who attempted to do that. My yard couldn't take it either. I have more than a few tire tracks where people literally drove up my yard.
Kind of feel like I gave in to the man by taking him down but my neighbor did confirm two near miss accidents on the busy street next to my house. I think I made him too real this time.
So it was fun while it lasted

Kieth, wb6anp, one of the guys in our SoCal chapter put these up this year:

I drove by and looked at them. It looks like it took a LOT of "spare time"!

Marv, that's a nice setup. Reminds me of that house that was an internet sensation a few years back. I'll try and find the YouTube vid of it and post it.

That video just doesn't get old.
Music by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Title - "Wizard in Winter". If you even have a chance to go to one of their concerts DO IT.

Thanks for the info on the band, Robin. I looked 'em up and there are a lot of vids on YouTube for them. Nice music.
I also found a better vid of the one I posted above.
YouTube - Trans-Siberian Orchestra - "Wizards in Winter"
And I also found this one too.
