christmas lights

someone has put their lights up already in the neigborhood...WTF...

when do you put yours up ?? i usually do mine thanksgiving weekend.

I leave mine up all year round. That way, all I have to do is turn on the switch, and voila!

Pretty much traditional weekend after Thanksgiving and take them down right after New Year.
We have seen a few going up the last couple weeks, to each there own.

Actually looking at those pics again, we were not done yet. It usually takes about 3 weeks of an hour here and an hour there. We don't turn em on (except to check the connections) until almost finished. It takes 8 20 amp circuits maxed out to power this display...I am constantly having to re set breakers until we get the load balanced.
I really don't know what started this nonsense, but it kind of took on a life of its own with the wife and kids...:confused:
