Christmas Lights

We're a Christmas lights family for the first time this year. I've resisted for so long but 4 year old lil sd basically put his foot down.

We'll need to see pix of course to prove that you're not letting li'l sd down.

Sad when an adult man can't stand up to 4 year old.

I'll probably put mine up tomorrow before the Cats play.

Spend the extra money on led LED lights.

Warm white is superior, bright white should really only be used in kitchens or bathrooms (just in general).

Thanksgiving Night is the best time to turn on the lights.  :)

Was going to decorate in the warm weather today but forty mile per hour wind gusts aren't my thing.

I pay a guy a few hundred bucks to put up, take down,  and store our lights every year.

I was surprised to see that the city's Christmas lights in town were on last night. I thought it was a universal law to wait until Thanksgiving to turn them on.

I'm something of a Christmas light expert. I buy the commercial grade stuff. Pays for itself in the long run. AMA.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning.  They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.

do you want to ring the doorbell of the house in the neighborhood with all the inflatable crap and punch the owner in the face for lowering your property value?

Nah to each his own. Most of the homeowners in my neighborhood don't even decorate for Christmas. It's kinda sad. If you want to have more inflatables than a used car lot, more power to you.
