    Better to pick new ones up after the holiday. Usually 50-75% off.

    No - people know not to bother with that.

    Hope you're ok after your fall.

    3 TRIPS TO THE STORE!!!(Yeah I am an idiot)
    Lots of cussing.
    Neighbor coming over and laughing at me...

    My front bushes/hedges/whatever.

    Have 600 lights all the fuck over them.
    I may buy 300 more lights tomorrow!

    And dont even ask why I had to go back to the store 3 times. :lol::lol::lol::lol:


    that's about what I went through today.....in the rain.

    but now I have 800 lights in the bushes on a remote control!!! I can push a button from almost anywhere and turn them on and off!!!!!!

    anytime you go to get lights get at least 2 or 3 times as many as you need - you always need more!!!!!!!

    I have been to Target three days in a row!

    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

    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:

    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:

    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.
