    Well it took me 3 afternoons but I finally have all my Christmas lights up and on a timer to come on at 5:30pm and off at 11:00pm.

    This year was a little harder, as we trimmed our trees so the hanging lights had to be a good 5 feet higher up......

    So far in the yard, I have:

    A lighted snowman
    2 lighted penguins
    2 articulated lighted deer
    2 multicolored Christmas trees
    3 lighted boxed presents
    Sidewalk bushes lit
    All bushes on house lit
    Accent lights along the ground
    2 big trees lit like candy canes around base red bottom, white top
    6 colored hanging balls in each tree (3 red, and 3 white) all lit.

    And, a projected image of Santa on my garage door.

    Oh yeah baby....bring on those blown fuses......

    I would think someone would get a seizure from looking at this if they kept it up.

    This thread truly is useless without pics.

    I may throw a couple of strings of lights in my bushes, otherwise I'll look like the neighborhood grinch compared to the rest of my street.

    I second that. If DaDa is no good at shooting pictures, he can get Jeff to help him out ...
