    If anyone is in the Orlando area, you should check out this house. Here's the website for it. I saw it last night and it is amazing how many trees they have outside and inside the house. The owner has to run two generators on top of his house electric because he melted the electrical wires to his house twice this year. :shock:

    It is so beautiful

    :shock:
    Something tells me the pictures don't do it justice.

    So can you tour the inside of the house? Are they still living there with all those trees in every room?

    I saw they are taking donations. :lol:

    Lots of cussing.
    Better to pick new ones up after the holiday. Usually 50-75% off.
    Reminder, just picked up 4 new strings and replacement bulbs, less than $20.

    If I didnt have to work today, I would have been a shopping fool!
    Kathy went out with her sister and mommy today, and picked up all sorts of great deals.

    That's awesome!

    There's a house close to me that sets their Christmas lights to a song every year, you turn on the radio in your car and watch it. Not the best vid, but here it is:

    That's pretty cool!

    The pictures are beautiful but you really need to see it in person. I was going to go back and do a quick video but I never got a chance. I'm sure a video wouldn't do it justice either. You have to see the amount of lights on the outside of the house. They cover the entire ground out front.
    Yes they live there. He said he's been collecting ornaments since he was 7. He changes the themes of the trees every year. He starts setting up in November. It's just amazing to see someone put that much thought into all of it. I guess the donations are to help with the cost of the electricity. I can't imagine what his bill must be during the month of December.

    so I put all the spare bulbs that came with each string of lights in a small plastic zip-lock bag so that I knew exactly where all the spares would be and I could easily locate them in case I had to change out a burned out bulb.




    I have no idea where that bag is, or any spares.

    Not only did I remember where I put the spare bulbs...
    I also remembered where I put the little fuses, that go in to all the silly chords.

    But I forgot to secure Santa, and he tumbled down the stairs.

    Chili pepper lights on the mantle, along with the jack-o-lantern, both of which have become year-round decorations:

    Has anybody driven past Speedy's house to check out those lights?

    They look great.  Some nice, soft mood lighting.

    A certain rambunctious kitty tore down some of ours. What’s left looks pitiful.

    Nice job! You're not related to Clark Griswold by chance?

    We had a crazy, unusual amount of snow here.  It sure makes the lights (that are visible) pretty.
