This will be the first year I dont go on vacation away to some far off land over the holidays and therefore, I will be decorating my house with lights and stuff. If you can, post pictures of your house with it all decorated. I am looking for ideas on what to do. I ordered a bunch of LED Christmas lights for the front. They use 80% less electricity than regular lights. Some neighborhoods have competitions to see if they can make them really stand out.

I am so proud to be the first post on this
thread, mainly because this is the first
time EVER that I got my lights up before
Dec. 1st!!
Nothing that special, but the kids love it,
and so do I !

Lisa

Very nice Lisa !

That's great Lisa! Now all you need is a little snow to cover up the lawn --I'm sure the kids would love that too.

When it comes to Christmas lights, I'm in the "anything goes" school. Here's my sister's place in MN (Christmas 2000)--her ex- used to go wild with this stuff.

Best,

Steve A-

Thanks, Steve and Alison,
but I am a born and raised So Cal gal,
and I love it when it is always clear and sunny
on New Years Day when the Rose Parade is on TV.
Do ya think it pisses off the folks in Minnesota?

Lisa

Well done Lisa!

Ours are just a few strings of the old big ones tied together.
But why take them down? We put ours up about ten years ago and now we plug them in to create the instant party.
I should check them out though, last time I plugged them in the outlet threw sparks.

Oh no! You better check them out!
Don't want the 914 to burn up!

Lisa

OK everyone....only 13 days till Christmas!
Show us your lights!!!!

Lisa

Crappy pic, but you get the idea.

Well done, Howard!
Is that Suzie?

Lisa

Yup, it's the Soozster. Put her on the lawn so slits would feel at home

The neighbors didn't think it was too funny

Oh boy, can't wait to read Ron's reply!

Pretty much my feeling's about this time of year!

But you root for the giants?

I try to throw up a string of lights across my bedroom window during finals to get me in the holiday spirit, but I didnt have time this year . Bah humbug.

I could lend you some "SF Giants" special lights

Besides, I thought we resolved the Dodger/Giant loyalty issue...
at Jared's BBQ?

Lisa

Howard, you are a F-ing genious! If I do that to the ones in the back yard on jack stands then they can't tow them away. Abate that you scrooges! Finals suck...must return to studying....will light up later....(maybe not just the lights).

Well Howie, with something that slow, you should string lights on it, but you should have pulled the wheels and put it up on concrete blocks, ' cause it never goes anywhere anyway.

You need to add yerself sitting in a rocker with your Depends in holiday colors with yer shine jug tipped, a spitoon at yur side and "Dueling Banjos" blaring loudly in the background.

I done been civilized now.....my store bought wooden teeth and shoes came in the mail yesterday!

Only thang I gots lights on is da tree so Kathleenie had to pose da kids & take a peekchur off'm. I like dis'un cuz'a da artsyness (das a werd ain't it?)

I was going to put up some lights this year, but decided not to.

I didn't want to mess up a good Easter weekend taking them down.

Funny you should mention it. Was going to decorate the jackstands and put a Chalon on them, but I couldn't find one that was running

This is how we decorate in the desert.

Ok, I finally got around to taking a picture of the house with lights up. Had to figure out how to take a picture in low light with the digital camera.

Gee Scott, is that a Malibu in the drive way?

Rides better than the last rental I had. They called today about my truck, they are waiting for the new cluster to come in. I hope this fixes it for good. He said maybe tomorrow. I can hardly wait. I miss my truck.

I get paid 4 to 700 to put lights on millionare homes! just got back...8 hours on a m*****-f****n roof!!!!
im tired.....

scott....nice deco.... ill do it up for 150

We did, but cant I still give you crap? I mean you ARE rooting for the hated ones...

I live in the poor section and sent you paypal to decorate my house.... do i need to send you another $.01

maybe $100. O1

nah.... its all good....a penny here...a penny there....pays for more parts to go on there

Sure, why not!
Just think how much fun we'll have if I get tickets to a Dodger/Giant game next season
at Dodger stadium.....and invite you to come along
But I think we should make it a Dodger/Giant "Fun Run" with all the 914's.
Yours, Aaron's, Howard's, Scott's (if it's running by then)

I'll be wearing a dodger t-shirt and a Giant hat...how about that!
Or maybe a Dodger jacket, a Giant t-shirt, and my 914Gurl hat!

Lisa

ill wear nothing! and paint my body dodgers colors...and my buttcheeks giants colors

Aaron!!!! You are starting to sound like Howard

Lisa

I just took the picture of my house with my digital camera on the regular settings and I think it turned out OK.
How did the lights on the hedge work (kinda dark in the pic)?

Lisa

I moved the lights on the hedge to just along the top. Didnt have enough to cover the whole thing all the way down top to bottom.

Nice Santa Ana winds coming up tonight, even kind of warm, I love weather like this.

Aaron is the only thing I've ever smelled on the internet.
