Let’s see what you got.

This is our side yard. I have been sick sick Thanksgiving so I have not felt well enough to put up the lights on the house. My son informed me we are doing that today so……

No photos, but we installed Govee permanent outdoor lights. They fuck -- the kids have really enjoyed messing with the various presets. We'll be set for every holiday and will just need to swap out inflatables/standalone decor.

I almost bought some of the version 2 150' lights on cyber-monday but they were still $299 for that length. Probably should've still pulled the trigger on them because they're back to $449 IIRC. But 100' is too short for my roof line and I'm not experienced enough to string multiple lines together of the ones that can be done.

We have a 'rewards' system at work where you can redeem points for merchandise, gift cards, etc. I ended up using points to have for the kit (I think it was on...some sale? It was like $299 at best buy for the 100ft elite kit). We just ran the 100ft across the front phase of the house, and miraculously it lined up perfectly to where a lot of the preset color changes start at the peak of the house.

I was going to install myself, but the highest point on our roofline, even on a one story, was 40ft -- I wasn't about to get my big ass up on a ladder that high lol.

I almost bought a 150 foot set from Costco for the fence you see at the top of the video. Just never pulled the trigger. I also thought about them for the house. A couple years ago I bought some light changing LED lights for the fixtures in the front, so I could change the color for each holiday. The problem is not only are they crappy, but when they are orange lights, then there is very little illumination for the yard. I might get some next year if Costco has them again.

Hank, I LOVE that Steelers Santa. 😍😍

So far, I have a few strings of the color changing C9 lights up and a “sparkling” chingadera for the topper on my flagpole. (My wife is too cheap to let me drop the $$ for the flagpole christmas light kit)
I had a couple of things cancel today, so I MIGHT get out and put up a few more strings of lights…or not. We’ll see.

Yep. 60 miles North West of LA.

about 1000 feet of led lights along our driveway. only about 3/4 of the length.

How about you turn the lights on this time. 😀

We don't go all out for Christmas like we do for Halloween. Just a few lights and some cedar roping around the front pillars.

OMG! Do you realize how much the Lecktrikal costs would be for that?

That’s all you get. Merry Christmas.

House built in 1927?

House built in 1927?

‘32 or ‘36 depending on which records I believe.

Pretty sure it was a kit - there’s a few very similar ones around, and when I redid the kitchen the old cabinets were pre-numbered for assembly.

Not too bad. I got within a decade. My hobby is trying to date houses. I especially like older places. Newer houses are boring.

Definitely the right era and style.

I like it. I've had to work on it a lot - it was a rental property for about twenty years, so everything was a little ratted out - but it's got good bones.

If this is your place, it's epic.

When I met my wife...my idea of outside christmas lights was one of these in the porch light.

We are in an old two story (1967) on a hill overlooking the neighbors out in the country so we put up lights for ourselves mostly. For reference the wreath is 4 feet across and it still looks small, but it has 400 lights and looks cool. I will not ever do inflatables or plastic molded stuff, ever, no offense. The peak is about 26 feet at the top and the electric is about a foot from the roof line so I don't ever hang anything up there. You can barely see the detached garage which also has lights on two sides.

I love the way your Christmas lights look. Your home looks beautiful.

Outside lights, and since I had the camera out took a few shots of inside tree.
