600 feet........in one outlet......HAHAHAHA

im doing twice that this year......on the house trailer i live in, yes, I AM WHITE TRASH

i had my whole house covered in them, my front yard, both tree lines down the back sides of my field, my old house was 1200 feet from the road, you could see the house 3 miles away, looked like a mexican whorehouse.....it was so bright outside you had to close the curtains at night to sleep, it looked like Chevy Chases house from Christmas Vacation.

I am 'forced' to by my wife... she'd be lucky to get a tree if I was in charge of the decorations...

I got a trailer too...

We just do the usual stuff, tree, wreath, etc. But there is a house about 5 minutes from us that makes it in the newspaper every year.

They have a 20 foot shed that they built just to hold their Christmas decorations. They start on November 1 and have it all up by Thanksgiving. There is not one square inch on thier yard that does not have a decoration on it. It's pretty crazy...

They have put outlets all over thier front yard just to support the amount of Christmas lights they put up. Oh yeah, they play Christmas movies from a projector all night long in their side yard too...

Anybody in this area in VA... It's better than the parade of lights at VA Beach and Newport News... If you're interested, me or Bobby can give you directions.

we use to put light on my husbands ranch hand but those lights break so fast, we finally got sick of tracing down the broken ones we just quit doing it. One year we also got those big plastic candy canes that are hollow inside and put them over the cb antenas.


All we really do is some lights on the house, a wreath on the door and christmas tree.
