[Iceberg Slim]

I feel like I am in Christmas hell, my wife is so far over the top with the whole decorating thing...don't get me wrong I like putting up lights and tree's and wreaths and all that but when I have moving blow-ups, candy canes, tables decorated...commmmee onnn mannnnn.....anybody else feel my pain

I love this time of year..we get our tree the day after t'givng..I have the tree and some garland and lights inside and that's it

this is an actual house from my neighborhood a few years back..there are lights everywhere on the roof..but since they blink on and off it's hard to get a pic of everything lit up...I swear there is more sh*t in their yard this year

[Iceberg Slim]

Wow, that looks just like the inside of my house......only missing that ball thingy.....

Tonight I will snap a pic of a house in my neighborhood. This year he has laser beams and smoke machines on top of what he had last year, all choreographed to music. You can tune your radio to an FM station and listen. He said he had 30,000 lights to give away, so you can imagine how many he has working.

we are staying home this year so my wife will miss her family and decorate the crap out of our house...I'm ok with it though.

Honestly, and I've told her this... my wife took the joy out of this time of the year away a long time ago... she was so over the top with it, and everything had to be so perfect that it was not fun.

She's better now than she was...

Outside... no. Used to put up lights around the house, lighted garland, wreath on door, etc. Last couple years we ditched the lights, now its just garland, bows, wreaths, etc.

Inside... yes. 1,400 sq. foot house, and we have 5 fully lit and decorated Christmas trees (3 full size, 2 half size). Started the first weekend in November... HELLO YOU FORGOT ABOUT THANKSGIVING

She started Dec 1, but there was a lot of plotting and planning on her part about what would be needed for her "project" to begin on time.....5 tree's..wow!!!!!

I usually start the weekend after T'Giving. I put up 2 trees, stockings, and a few treasured things that were passed on to me inside the house. Outside, there's a wreath on the front door, wreaths on all the windows in the front of the house, lights on all the shrubs, lights on the plum tree, a lighted Santa train that looks like it's puffing smoke & wheels moving. Lighted candy canes along the sidewalk, and lighted garland around the front door. I think that's it. It takes me about 2 hours to decorate outside & a couple of days to do the trees inside. If we have company over for christmas I'll pull out all the Christmas dishes & kitchen stuff. I think my decorating is probably along the normal scale, not over the top at all. I do it because my daughter loves it so much and we do it together, which is important to us both.
