Christmas Lights

[vharrison]

Has anyone put up their lights yet? I am still working on the office, have one more adjustment to make, then I will post a picture. I have to say, what a pain in the rear it is to get them all to work.


Post your pictures, we would love to see them.

Not as bad as the ones us old timers remember. The ones that went totally out when one bulb burned out. Good time.

too lazy to take them down
and they all worked....crazy and lazy

You slacker, I took mine down in May.

I toss a few strings in the shrubbery, LEDs, keeps the kid and wife happy. Easy cleanup. Also done roughly mid summer.

I got my lights up yesterday. I stole the idea from Paul B.

 

[Paul B]

[CurSedVoyce]

[sawinredneck]

[stehansen]

Pretty good for a bah humbug Brian.

 

[Paul B]

A sprig of mistletoe would look good with that, Brian.

What kind of hedge is that Paul...its not a rhodo hedge is it?

 

[MasterBlaster]

Someone could get rich inventing stealth outdoor xmas lights. It wouldn't be so hard to do.

 

[sotc]

Good stuff Brian

Paul, you need the hanging deer to go with the other one you have!

I put some lights up for other people the other day, not into decorating my own home though. My wife does make me drive the family around one evening and look at everyone elses lights though

Our went up once the T-giving turkey was digested (enough). In the snow. No pics yet.

I don't decorate anything around my place but I get a few gigs hanging lights in trees every year. We're late lighting the Post Oak at Carr Mill, I help a friend do that every year... awesome girl watching. We aren't doing that one till the 14th though.

 

[Paul B]

Hedge? Skimmia japonica believe it or not, thats what 25 years of growth will get ya. We do the evening drive around as well usually but this year I am thinking of getting us down to here to check out a big light show.

 

[canadiantreeman]

Cool, looks nice.

 

[vharrison]

This is pretty much the same design as last year.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Purdy!

Weird seeing christmas lights and palm trees....Its about 25 degrees here right now.

My wife coned her nephew into helping her put the lights up outside while I watched his little bother and Bubba. It was 39 and she doesn't do well with the cold, so they hurried.
Got them all up and only half of them work! I noticed this when I went out and told her, "Oh well, it's good enough this year!"
I had to chuckle.
I still need to get a pic of the Griswalds place, they only did about a quarter of it this year, I was surprised they didn't go all out again.

I'm off to light the Post Oak in downtown Carrboro. It'll take a couple of days, I'll try to remember to get pictures.

Always been a volunteer gig in the past but I get paid this year!
