Christmas Decorations Thread!

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 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'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.
