Does anyone else decorate their home for Christmas?

[CrystalAZ]

Or, in the interest of the "no religion" policy, I should say "Does anyone decorate their home for the holidays?" :D

We have over 20,000 lights and are listed in the Phoenix "holiday lights map".

Just wanted to share:

Very nice! Is that supposed to be a moon hanging in the trees? I can't wait until we build a new home. I will go nuts with lighting.

[CrystalAZ]

Thanks. :)

Heheehe... no, but that pic does look like a moon. There are actually lots of those spheres in the tree.

Looks awesome. For the record though, I only counted 19,987 lights.

And they're all plugged into just one outlet!

We decorate our house, but compaired to you we might as well just have a single light on our house. Wow....

Heh heh... (in a creepy voice) i know where you live!!

I've seen your house in person, and it looks great. It seems like less and less people are decorating their yards every year.

CrystalAZ,

You Rock!

Man, that looks great! (Especially compared to the 4 strings of 1/2 working icicle lights on my house. :( )

That looks awesome! We didn't decorate the outside this year. We had some Halloween stuff stolen, and it made me not want to put any lights up. But, the inside looks nice.

Looks Great!

Is that snow on the ground?!? It sure looks like it, but I'd find it hard to believe since your current temp is 57. lol

It just wouldn't be the same looking at Christmas lights with the convertible top down to keep cool. Guess we could do that here with the "special" hot chocolate.

Thanks everyone! :)

No, it's not snow. It's batting from JoAnn Crafts... the lady at the store seemed very offended that we were throwing it on the ground instead of making a quilt.

My hubby actually added 4 20 amp breakers to our breaker box for the sole purpose of Christmas lights, so they definitely aren't on one outlet.

Although.. the other day, our power went out. Only about 8 houses were affected, and all our neighbors came out and blamed us for the outage.

That was also our first outage since starting the tank, so I was a little paranoid, but they had it fixed in an hour. The UPS lasted the whole time running the return pump and skimmer.

Desert Fox... shhhhhh! That's all I need is a bunch of wacky reef geeks coming around. :D (just kidding)

If anyone else out there puts up lights, I'd love to see some pics!

Reminds me of the Griswolds. hahahahaha. Bet you can see your house from space.

Happy Holidays

Hey Crystal,
