Littleguy Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 We did ours this past week, but nothing like Doc's, I can't believe he decorated three entire houses! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky31186 Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 We did ours the day after Thanksgiving. X2. I guess it's warm today too. But I wanted to get mine put up before the cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc1647545523 Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 We did ours this past week, but nothing like Doc's, I can't believe he decorated three entire houses! Well, like I said, it's Christmas. We don't make all this effort for ourselves, it's for the enjoyment of others. I'll post pics of the whole place at night, that should really show off my handiwork. I'm thinking of adding a laser light show this year, will post pics of that if it comes out as spectacular as I envisage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patterson Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Moving in three weeks, will likely not put up a tree amid the confusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Cranium Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 We drug the tree out of the basement this morning and I got it all put together and the lights working. I'm not sure what all Carol is planning on doing this year to decorate. At least she's not as big a scrooge this year as she has been in the past.

Fiji ST Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 We've had our tree up since Sunday and have decorated all last week. Only left are outside lights, which should be fun in the rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Tradition in our family is to begin on Black Friday. We have about 75% of the house complete. We do two trees, an 10 ft one in the great room and an 8ft one in the lower level. We also have a small 3ft one that my wife and I had for years we put up and let the kids do 100%. They had a blast and it actually looks good I don't do outside lights any more. Just too much stuff in life going on to even want to mess with that anymore. Hell, I'm glad I am done with yard work.

Ill put hte christmas tree up this week, when my studio mess is out of the living room. That happened to me about 4 years ago and I have not done them since. I was so pissed that I left them up and didnt take them down until summer that year. So far they are all working this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was so pissed that I left them up and didnt take them down until summer that year. So far they are all working this year. Sometimes it's annoying being a cheerful, but I love the holidays, and can't convince myself to not have the lights up. I have a spare set of lights to replace the broken set with.. But they are cheap lights and I don't expect them to last more than a season or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Littleguy Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Doc, you have really surpassed all of my expectations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc1647545523 Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Since I knew you couldn't be here in person for the lighting of the tree, I felt that the least I could do was capture the moment on film. Well, not really film of course, more like zeroes and ones. I'm sure you'll want to save a copy to cherish at some Christmas, far into the distant future, when you'll have to explain to your grandchildren how in 2011 it was uncommon to see space lasers lighting trees on fire.

Xyster101 Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 I have 800 LED lights to go up on the house, a few still to put up. Taken with the cell phone: http://www.adamdaley.com/max/house/IMAG0141.jpg A 30 tall tree out back I put lights on before Thanksgiving: http://www.adamdaley.com/max/house/IMAG0140a.jpg Our tree before decorations were put on. The ceiling is 8'6" and that is probably 6' in diameter at the bottom. This years tree is very wide. http://www.adamdaley.com/max/house/IMAG0136a.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
