Who's Got Christmas Lights Up?
Who's got their Christmas lights up yet? I do. They have been up since last Friday. I have a good story. We have a two story house. I can climb out the window onto the roof but need a ladder to get up to the roof of the second floor. Well while I was up putting the lights up on the top of the house, my wife gave the ladder to our neighbors to use. I knew this. After a while I finished with the lights. Then I realized none of my family or neighbors were outside. I kind of yelled to see if anyone was near an open window. Then I just sat there for about 30 minutes until my wife walked outside the door and I called her. At that point she realized she had forgotten me on the roof. It was the classic Clark Griswald moment. I will not soon forget. I am pretty happy with the house. It is pretty traditional. I may someday ere on the side of gawdy but not yet. The tree is up inside the house as well and the house is decorated.

I put mine up 10 days before Thanksgiving when it was nice and warm. We did not turn them on until Thanksgiving night. As of tonight the tree is up and inside of the house is decorated. We are done. 04-cheers

Great story!

Mine have been up since Saturday. I have about 1500 lights - nothing spectacular. A couple of fake deer with lights, some snowflakes. I use the small white, green, and red lights.

Actually Griswald would have fallen off the roof trying to get down. Glad you didn't do that.

RE: Who's Got Christmas Lights Up?
Great story. My mom put our lights in the windows and outside the house up yesterday. She had already begun to do some of the X-mas decorations in the house. I'd imagine the tree will go up this weekend. I think this is the last year I'll be getting out of doing most of the decorating as next year I'll have to decorate my own place, damn.
