Christmas Lights

When are you Putting up your Christmas Lights outside? I Want to put them up this week yet but we don't turn them on till Dezember 1 of course but i'm scared that it'll be very cold by that time i'll do now already

We should have done ours during our 70 degree heat-wave just a couple weeks ago. Now it's already snowy and freezing! I'll be doing mine soon...it means crawling through the storage area to find the box though! You'd think I'd learn to put those in the FRONT of the storage area! :unsure:

I usually put mine up before Thanksgiving, but now that I don't have to cook this year, I might wait until December.

Well Amy I know what you mean i crawl through out storage room last week i have them lying there now i just need to put them up yet

Well I Wonder why they don't have it written on the Christmas Lights Box that it is Pain putting them Up lol

Because then nobody would buy them! :Hahaha:

Well i Guess But i'm Done now with putting them up i did nothing fancy this year just a straight line of christmas lights

We usually put ours up Thanksgiving weekend, but this year we are doing it a week early, and will be putting them up this weekend. I can't wait. I hate this time of year when it gets dark so early and everything is so dull and drab, at least the lights will brighten things up.

I Love this time of the year we have those nice long Eavings getting ready for christmas is just all so much fun

We usually don't do outside lights because my honey doesn't like to mess with them and I'm not handy enough. But... honey also says that Christmas went too fast last year so... maybe this year putting lights outside would help! You think???

(Does that sound like a good "argument"?)

There are already people putting them up here. I couldn't believe it! I am getting ready though to put mine up. I've been buying net lights to really add alot more this year. I have my husbands family coming the Saturday after Christmas so I'm sort of going all out.
Christmas is magical and can be whatever you make of it if you do spend some time putting an effort in the decorating. I will probably put mine up the 29th. :emot36:

We don't put lights outside anymore//Takes up too much hrdro!!

Next weekend.

Yes, and there is just 'something' about lights, even if it's only a few! We have a 'peak' on our roofline so I've always wanted to put icicle lights up there. I think they'd be so pretty. So, what color does everyone have? I like all white lights for my outdoor ones, and my indoor lights are traditional multi-colored. I do two trees---my family room 'skinny' tree is done in white lights.

And yes, Holly, that IS a good argument---LOL---if my hubby can do it, so can yours!

we have multi-colored outside and prelit tree with white lights

Our pre-lit tree is the white one too Jacob...my living room tree is multi-colored, but not the pre-lit one. I'm sorry now I didn't get a pre-lit tree....my family room tree is sooooooooo easy to assemble!!

Did you know that they make those kind of trees it's Call a Space Saver is only a tree from one side

I didn't know that! That's really a great idea. In our old house we used to take a bunch of branches off the back just to fit it into the room in the corner. Hey, no one knew!

Well Whatever works Amy lol Here is a Pic of one of those trees

One thing---how the heck does it stay upright?! Wouldn't that just tip forward and fall over? :think: LOL! When we took the branches out of our tree (ours was my hubby's parents, handed down to us, so it was the old style with the individual branches), we would always stagger them so it would still balance out.

I'm Not sure with how it works that it does not fall over :scratch:

I saw some lights like this last year on a few homes and fell in love with them. We just have the basic white strand...I've been wanting to get some icicle lights and would love this with the falling snowflake. I'll have to watch for sales...

Oh They look wonderful
