Jim isn't it time to hang the Christmas lights ??  :biggrin:

Let's conserve energy by installing LED Christmas lights.  :laugh:

Christmas lights already lol

One of the first odd things I noticed about the Pacific NW is they don't take Christmas lights down and light them all year round.
Lends a festive atmosphere but strange.

people in Washington need something to cheer them up with all that rain  LOL

Mine go up Day after Thanksgiving , whole house, a few trees...

Same here. 

It takes me 3 weekends to get up all my lights.  All led!!!!  Oklahoma is normally a bit windy so that always ads to the fun of climbing 20ft up in my trees.  Looks good though... 

 :needphotos:

Just thought I would throw that in!

Hey guys, he's not talking about Jim's personal lights. I think he is talking about the lights in the banner on the home page!  :upside:

I love to put up outdoor lights.  But as I get older, it is becoming more and more like work.  Takes me a couple of weekends to get them all up.  Front yard and back yard.  Pictures would be great.  I am attaching a  pic of the front yard last year. We even get a little snow occasionally. Ususally try to have them all up by the 10th of December and down by the middle of January.  They remain off after the 2nd of January. Happy lighting!!

WOW!  Bob--are you sure your name isn't Clark Griswald?  That is quite a display.  I suspect that it uses a bit more juice than a soda machine.

 :drinking: Tim :drinking:

yah,  I have been called Clark before.  Costs about an additional 100-125 for power during that time.

I forgot about the additional cost for the Christmas lights

Nice set up, I have all led so mine doesn't cost that much...

I would also think the led are much brighter

Changed my profile picture to add a little more holiday flair! Enjoy

The lights have been installed ! ! !
I've been away for the few days so I was a little slow...

And, it snowed on the machines ! ! !

Way to go Jim. Feels like Christmas now.  :happydrinkers:

wish i could put up Christmas lights but i have ignorant neighbors.

They won't allow you??  :Oo:

Their just animals, cut the cord ignorant crap like that.  Trying to stay politically correct. Just total A--HOLES

That reminds me.....
I was accused of LIGHT POLUTION a couple of years ago by the neighbor!!!!!

What is there to being "Politically Correct" at your own HOME ? ? ?
If someone did that at my home, they might find an arrow sticking out of themselves ! ! !
That's the kinda sh@#!$%t that has got this country headed toward disaster ! ! !
Now you got me all pissed off for the holidays ! ! !
  :darn:  :veryangry:  :censored:  :darn:  :veryangry:  :censored:

I think I'm going out and add some more Christmas lights to our house ! ! !
That should help cool me down...

you need to cool your jets Jim, Your mad at the wrong mother F&C$er, They know I'm a cop and call and file bogus complaints on me all the time. I have a name for them which Larry is familiar with.  I guess when I accepted the badge I lost my 1ST AMENDMENT RIGHTS. THEY CAN SAY AND DO AS THEY PLEASE, BUT WHEN I SAY SOMETHING I AM ABUSING MY POWER OR INTIMIDATING THEM BECAUSE I"M THE POPO.  and when I said being politically correct I did not mean at my home I meant ON THIS SITE  by not using a certain adjective that starts with N. They are fkn cowards mess with your property when they see you leave, i had to put up security cameras, so lets drop it.

I wish everyone on the site a very Merry Christmas To all

Moving on to a nice holiday spirit ! ! !

Hmmm.. sounds like a nice neighborhood.. might be time to look outside the city?

I haven't had time to put up my lights for the last few years but the last time I put them up we had over 56,000 lights and it took over a month to install. T

Now this guy is nuts when it comes to Christmas lights.. I know the guy and every year his display gets bigger and bigger. I can't wait to see it this year.
