Christmas Lights

Post by redlava »

So does anybody near you have a little TOO much Christmas Spirit. Does that idiot down the block keep you awake with the 7 million tracer lights in his yard. Here is the place to show it.

Sorry, it's a little fuzzy. This is last year's pic. Of course, they've added more lights this year.

How does anyone on your block sleep with that crap on?

I think the sheer amount of light cannot be blocked out by mere blinds or curtains.

I LOVE Christmas lights! The more - the better. My bf and I went on a Christmas light drive last week to Orleans "infamous" Taffy Lane where every house on the street is done up Griswold style.

This house I completely forgot about. I haven't been past here in several years, but I was in the area and I remembered it from a long time ago. The homeowners still decorate it the same way. They must have robbed every trailer park and Wal-Mart in a 30 square mile area to get everything.Some of the pics are fuzzy and I apologize. I was in a hurry.

The pics don't really do it justice. It is one of things that you have to see to believe. There is music playing and one of the boxes with the puppets has a TV playing Christmas movies on it.

We're pretty low-key here, but I do have a lit up Christmas bell in the back window of the Vibe...

You bet! With the new LED Christmas lights, I'm sure the vibe could operate a couple of hundred...

man you should see our house. We've got over 3000 lights. We turn our lights off when we go to bed though, I dunno why people leave them on all night, doesn't make sense to me You are right, it does light up your room pretty good even though I have blinds, half broken ones though but still blinds. i don't have a problem sleeping with the light so it doesn't bother me. Those flood lights on the other hand (removed) ME OFF!!! Everytime a leaf blows they turn on and every flood light on the street seems to be pointed at my bedroom window. One of these nights im goin out there with my bb gun.
