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

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:

Same thing here, my wife and i have been together for 18 years, you really start collect items and each year you have to have at least one addition:D
