This photo attatched is from the same house I posted a discussion about with very neat and organized lights etc. They do their garage door each year to look like a wrapped package. It is so neat and evenly done. This is one of my favorite houses to see each year even though the scheme never changes. Ever seen a package this large?

I have seen front doors that look like a big gift but can't say I have ever seen a garage door wrapped up like a package. That is a great idea but I would never be able to do that with my garage door. We leave our garage door opened up a little bit because our cat likes to go in the garage from the house then she will go out front then when she is ready to come back in she goes to the front door and scratches. hahaha

They have a framework that gets clipped onto the garage.
I went to get a closer look and saw the frames for all the lights etc. Very neat and ordely lookinjg. One of the best I've seen in all my years.

Hi Grandpa Bob! Those people must be perfectionists! I don't
want to use any other vulgar terms because it's Christmas,
but they do have it almost perfect! How do they get everything
so perfectly line up and straight? Are they accountants?
It was almost perfect except for that one light which I didn't
notice until your daughter brought my attention to it, and
now you must tell them to fix it or the perfection thing is
gone! Maybe Minnie can break it to them gently since she's
the one that found it!lol

The lights etc are all on a form that hangs on the wall.
There are holes with clips for the lights to fit in pertfectly.
The peace sign is sold like that.
I've seen a lot of them at stored recently.
Also NOEL etc.

Hi Grandpa Bob,
I didn't want you to think I've forgotten ya, so just had to choose one of your topics to answer. I've been on and offline of late, 'trying' to get Christmas preparations done. Today I'm hitting the mall (finally,) so must get some sleep.
What a lovely photo. Many people are so creative, and it sure adds to the beauty of the season. Are you 'all ready' for Christmas now?
Take care.

That garage door decorated to look like a package is so neat. I have never seen anyone do that before. I hate decorating the outside of my house for Christmas. My dad usually puts up lights but I won't do it. I just realized now how old this post is. It was suggested to me on the right of my screen when I was commenting on a recent post. I hope you are still active here at mylot. If not I hope you come back since they are paying again!

I love Christmas lights. My husband takes us around to look at all the houses every year.
I think I have only seen lights done that way one other time. That was when I lived in Michigan. They made their garage into a gift. I thought it was neat then too.

That is a awesome idea. I love how creative folks this time of year.. I find many things that folks come up with very amazing!
I would love to open that gift and their be a nice new car for me for Christmas...
I saw Santa in the store yesterday.. I got all happy just like a little kid.. I waved and said " Here I am ... I have been waiting for you all year... " he smiled and said Merry Christmas and was on his way...
I guess that I will not get a early gift from him this year...

That is a beautiful sight to see GB, you have an eye for great Christmas decorations, being them yours or others. I am out of work now so I am going to see if I can get around looking at some of the Christmas decorations in my area.
I did see the manager scene the city here puts up every year, it was flooded due to all the rain we got the other day. It is located in a low lying area and it got flooded.

That really is a huge present. They must spend ages getting it to look like that and it is all so neat and tidy. Does the husband do all this work Bob?
I think it is beautiful and they really make an effort for Christmas. I wonder why people who do not even bother to put up a tree sometimes. They need the Christmas spirit.

A friend of mine used to do up her kitchen cupboard doors to look like presents, using ribbon and bows. I don't know if she still does as we haven't lived in the same town for years.
