I can imagine. Don't know what I've spent over the years but it makes her happy so it's worth it

We did indoors two weeks ago. We invested in Jellyfish lighting this year, so I'll switch from Autumn to Christmas today

It was nice here yesterday, so the kids put up the lights in the afternoon. We turned them on after dinner was done for a while. I put the timers on them today, and they should start cycling in about 20 minutes.

Starting mine today. Inside and outside, plus two trees (big one in the front room and 7’ tree in the back sitting room). It’ll take a few days.

It's been a couple of years since we've put up a tree. I've never strung lights on the outside of the house.

Bought some Atomi lights at Costco. They are LED and you can change the colors either by each strand or group them and have them change. We despise the asshats across the street so I quit decorating the front of the house. No one ever drives down the street so we decided this year to do the back. I've got the lights Red and Green for a Christmas scene now. I might change them to a Fade where they go thru all the colors, or maybe dancing? There are about 10 different scene's you can use or make your own. They are pretty cool lights.
