The Lights Have Been Turned On

Lovely lights Bob. You have put a lot of effort into this. It would have been a big job putting them all up. Did you have any help? I know my hubby will need help with our lights. We have no where near as many as you. Our lights go around the gutter, of the whole front of our house. I am keeping my eye on other possible light purchases.

Wow, I live about 5 minutes from downtown Anoka! I'll admit that I am anxious for Christmas this year, but I am holding back on decorating until after Thanksgiving. I don't find it unusual for cities or stores to decorate early since they are trying to attract visitors or shoppers. If I see holiday lights on houses in November, I don't think twice about it. But if they are still up and on in March, well, that's a different story!

I remember when i was in philippines and still young we used to put christmas lights all over the street and most especially to our garden and outside the the house. we have also the christmas lights on our christmas tree during nights.. i feel delighted for it.

I love the warm glow of Christmas lights. Yours are wonderful Bob! We have ours up and have lit them a couple of times. We have to buy a few more before we actually leave them on for any length of time. There were a few lights out on one of the strands. Time to get replacements.

We are doing inflatables..they will go up right after thanksgiving...we had a lot of lights to put on the shrubs..but this year started some new landscaping. Now instead of 8 foot high shrubs ...they are 1 foot. If we light them they will look like Charlie Browns Christmas tree

Last year my house was decorated with lights. It took 5 months to get someone to pull it down.

We don't have any lights up yet. My husband always does that so I'm not sure when he'll put them up. One of our neighbors has theirs up already though and they had them turned on last night. We also rode by Phillip Morris (the place that makes cigs) and they have lights on all of their trees. My son just kept looking at them and kept saying his new word "wow". LOL

My lights won't be on at all in November. We received a notice from the city to not turn them on. I'm not getting a fine, as I can't afford it this year.

yaa well i ahve done it. sorry for giving sort reponse.

We live in an apartment and so I will be putting up a string of lights around my living room window (on the inside) and also lighting up our small fake tree. This will occur around December first and it will all stay up and be on at night until just after the new year (2nd or 3rd of January). When I was a child and my parents still do this...there were trees put up all across the front of the house and trees and bushes as well. We would have a large real tree that we cut sown ourselves and it was put up a couple week before Christmas to come down just after New Years. I do miss the real tree and wish I had more room for decorations but...Ah well I do my best! :) Happy Holidays to you also!
