XMAS LIGHTS ... show me your pics

Sometimes the wife, the kids, the neighbors all seem to gang up on us to do a light display ...... I thought this one was pretty dang cool!

 

Ditto

 

that's very funny


Maybe I sure borrow that idea...we are still trying to get the reno done on our basement level to get mom in before Christmas...not much time to decorate.

 

Ba Humbug I decorated! I turned on the computer!

 

In the dog house with mine.

 

that should keep the hornets away!

 

Pretty---and it's the thought and all the work that counts!

 

ya supose to put em on da roof

 

In the world of sports fishing that would be called a bird's nest!!! LOL

 

Not mine. I didn't put up any lights.

 

This is from a previous year but its a fav so I'll post it again.

 

When I was a kid, we went out once each Christmas season to look at the lights. There's a large neighborhood in the Baldwin Hills area of Los Angeles where each street had a different theme - one street was candy canes, one street 'winter wonderland', one street on toys, etc..... Virtually all the houses got involved and some of the houses were very elaborate with moving props, etc. And this was all back in the late 50's / early 60's..

Anyway, I remember this one house in particular, and I've always wanted to replicate it......

Picture a house with a large picture window in the front. A huge lighted Christmas tree is visible through the window, but you can't see the top of it. Your eye pans upward to 'the rest' of the Christmas tree that is poking up through a uneven hole in the roof......The top part of the tree is lighted and decorated just like the one underneath.

 

they would be funny and very clever.

 

Haha! Those were some great pics.

 

Ha I love it! No outside lights for us this year. Landlord/roommate had a utility bill bee up his @$$. But that won't stop us from decorating our room. It's almost time for us to go scouting for small tree to harvest.
