Are Your Christmas Lights Up Yet?
 

I'm gonna go shopping at Canadian Tire this week and pick some up for the new house. My neighbour just put his up today and they look awesome! Fuck my halloween shit is still outside and I have to take them down before the new years ;)

How about you guys, have you got you lights up yet?

DH

nope. Still unpacking boxes from the move.:1orglaugh

Shit, my blinds are not even up in my new house.

My only decoration so far is all the moving boxes out front.

not yet :) another week or so

Fuck that. I hate people who put them up before Thanksgiving. Two weeks before XMas is the threshold for me.

Hell no! I can't believe it's almost Christmas!!!

nope but I love Christmas so much I would leave my tree up year round if I could.. as it is I rarely get it down before March because I love cold evenings by the firelight with it lit...

Bah humbug...why bother when all I get is a lump of coal every year :BangBang: :feels-hot

Not yet, but I'm making plans. :) The Griswold family is gonna have nothing on me this year.

No way. I guess it's different with you guys but we haven't had Thanksgiving yet and it's generally only white trash that puts them up before Thanksgiving, lol. Although I did see one house last week that has started but it looks like it's gonna be one of those monster displays with millions of lights.

I would say let my cousin do it for ya... he took his highschool job and turned it into a 3month career each year since.. now he nets around 150k a year doing xmas lights for people.... yes i said 150k.... has about 5 crews working for him.

Yup, or 65% yup, we fire up a HUGE Christmas lighting event and our home makes the paid tour "Parade of Homes".

We have to have this bitch working for the first lighting Thankgiving.

I know the pain, but it is so rewarding when its all done :-)))

Not done with old hallows eve here yet.


I can not believe how long the x-mas stuff has already been in the stores.

i ll just wait till december 28th to put shit up

Not for another couple of weeks. :1orglaugh

jesus. it's not even december yet.

we just took our christmas stuff down in august.. its time to put it back up already?

sweet! what i love more about Christmas are the gifts under the tree :winkwink:

Nope, not yet! But the tree is.:) :glugglug

i still havn't taken down last years

I tried to get my husband to let me do that. I so hate taking that stuff down.

We might put them up over Thanksgiving. No one can see my house but I like to look at them :)

moving dec 1st so not yet, will be the 1st thing I do in my new pad

1st weekend in Dec they go up here. With the new wiring we had done you'll be able to see my house from a satellite photo

2nd week is the tree.... Let me share the greatest tree stand in the universe for almost no cash. You'd have to bodyslam the tree to knock it over.

1. 5 gallon empty bucket from Home depot.
2. 50LB bag of small stones
3. Tree.

Step1: Fill the 5 gallon 1/2 way up with the stones.

Step2: Cut back some of the tree's lower branches to have about 6-8 inches of stump.

Step3: Place tree in and twist it to center and pour in the rest of the rocks to about 1-1/2 inches from the top and add water.

You tree is weighed down w/50lbs, you can move it all over real easy, cant tip that mother unless you jump on it.

and its 100% Hydroponic for all you heads out there :)

Enjoy.

Me too, the inside was done the day after Halloween :-))

not yet, maybe on the last week of november or first week of december.... if im not busy :feels-hot

i'm gonna set them up tommorrow.

Not yet. But thanx for reminding me!

In Arkansas we keep our lights up all year long lolol :1orglaugh

Just fucking with ya lol

I am going to wait until the day after Thanksgiving :thumbsup

nope we do that thanksgiving night...

Kryst, is it already time to rip the heads out of storage and place them back on the stakes?

(They look best when I take the time to wire the bulbs through the throat and place reds bulbs under the tongue and white ones in each eye socket. Also, place a hydraulic ram in the mouth, and wire it to each eye -- looks somewhat special when the neighbours are in front of my crack house puking and running around crying.

Ahhh ... I love the X-Mas.

thanks for reminding, id probably start this weekend

Not yet,probably after 2 weeks:winkwink:
