Need to take pics, but house roof line is outlined in white lights along with 4 trees in the front yard. 2 red spotlights on the right side yard, one in the garage, another 2 facing the trees and the front hanging lights were replaced with red bulbs.....8 foot tree in living room is visible through the window. All of my neighbors go hog wild as well, music playing trees, ferris wheels, 25+ lighted reindeer, etc. On xmas day the entire neighborhood lights luminaries as well.

We don't have snow, but we have spirit.

I have a one foot high ceramic tree with colored LED lights. That's it. Nothing outside except my 3 1/5 foot high statue of a Buddhist monk and he's always there.

Sorry no pics - no working camera.

I'm done with the decorations as soon as the tree is up and I got the boxes out of the rafters in the garage. From that point on, I watch music DVD's and drink beer on the couch. This year we went with a fake tree too. So much better setting that thing up as opposed to the mess of a real tree.

I had a pet cat that passed on a few years ago, that loved to eat the tinsell off of our Xmas tree. He would stand up on his hind legs and suck the stuff up off the tree like spagetti.
One day during the festive season, I was cleaning his litter box and came across some tinsell, that was holding together two separate clumps of cat do... and as it seemed to have dried out by the time I got to it, I figured, what the heck, it's the cat's contribution to the tree decoration... so yah, I hung it on the tree... made for some very interesting conversations as friends and family admired our "beautifully decorated tree."
Still makes me laugh!

Here's a few of the tree. The whole house is basically done (I go way overboard), but I wasn't about to go snapping a ton of pics...

I haven't really done anything with my place, I am too busy with school and I wont be here at all over Christmas. My girlfriend's place is all decorated up, it looks good, but I don't have any pictures.

I'm not sure if you'll be able to see the outside lights very well, but in person, they are pretty cool. The LED's definitely make a difference. My Dad taught me everything I know about exterior illumination....

The other picture is my Snow Village (Dept. 56, Original Snow Village series). It may sound kind of dorky, but I really get into collecting this series and setting it up over the holidays. I've been collecting for about 20 years. It usually takes me 2 days to set it and it keeps getting bigger.
