Taking the display dpwn is easy......we have a barn shed just for Christmas decorations.....each string goes in its own bag, the lights are cable tied to branches not wrapped in like a rat nest.
We can get it all down and put away in 2 days....yet it takes two people 3 weeks to get it properly placed....
Every year some wire pieces experience failure and here comes many hours of re-wiring the pieces with new lights.....we went thru over 4000 cable ties....thats the worst part.....
I get real tired of it as we put late hours at night into doing it, I don't mind the take apart....its keeping everything fired until Christmas stresses me out....
Blew a piece 2 days ago, and it was a 3 hour repair....but thank god the County judges had not come by.....
Keeping it all going in bad weather is tough as well....
But ya know what....its the most wonderful experience you can do even tho it is a big responsibility and expense....
My favorite time of the year...dunno why, I am single and not even dating.....welp....might be real soon....Im procrastinating but giving joy to the world offsets the poor me I am single blues... :-)))
killer lights man! i love when people go all out in either halloween or christmas, doesnt make them look like fat jewish business men. people who dont like it are just down because they are overweight and unemployed.
I had plans to do my house this year and have lighted cartoon characters and a train in the front yard... but hard to do on crutches, so i just didnt do anything. maybe next year.
I remember when Al Copeland who started Popeys started putting up lights had the police out, lines of cars for hours and a few of the neighbors sued.... no Christmas spirit
We feel like the Griswalds, now I need a nice jolly webmaster to play Santa in the hay driveway.
Any takers?
We are blowing thru alot of candy canes which we give to the kids. I have not yet got myself to the point where I can put on an Elf suit...but give me a few days.
Just want to wish you all a safe and joyous holiday. If you think you have it bad just remember there is somebody else that has it worse....
PS.
I don't need my (2) front teeth for Christmas.....and my grandma did get run over by a reindeer :-)
