Ready....Set.....LIGHTS!

I don't have any recent Christmas decoration pictures on my laptop, as I've only had it since April. Pictures of my lovely ornaments and decorations will have to wait a few more weeks. lol. However, I've attached an oldie pic of myself and my father, taken back in the 70's (I'm guessing xmas 77). You can see various cheesy xmas decorations on the railing into the living room, as well as the fancy dishes with our dinner. lol.

Sorry I have nothing to share right now. I am not sure if we will put up outside lights this year yet. If so it will be later on. There is a family across the street from us who puts up a lot of lights and decorations, he usually starts the weekend after Thanksgiving.

This is very beautiful and when I have my windows finished, then I will put up the pictures. You did a great job and Christmas lights are so much fun.Now you have me in the mood to finish mine....

Okay Grandpa Bob... I am responding to this from my e-mail...the reason being that there is something about Christmas lights and such....and it is only November 10..... Just kidding of course...I will go in and take a peek...I am not ready for Christmas, whether it be lights or anything else.....LOL

Now you can come over here and do my lights. It is not as cold here I promise. I don't normally put up very many lights. Around the big picture window is usually all.

Hehe Grandpa Bob, my fiance wants to put our lights up too. The only difference is that he wants to go ahead and turn them on at night! We don't have have the Halloween lights down yet. I guess we should have worked on that this weekend! Your lights look good. I hope I can get pics of ours taken to post as well! Keep up the good work Grandpa Bob!

We haven't put ours up yet. They ARE sitting out in the dining room waiting though. LOL. I figure I'll just wait until after Thanksgiving, THEN I'll finagle hubby into putting them up for me. When he does, I'll try to post a pic here.

I really like it! I wouldn't mind seeing people turn their lights on before Thanksgiving, although practically speaking, I guess that would be expensive. I can't wait for the house across from my apartment complex to put their lights up. Last year is was like a Christmas extravaganza! I can't even begin to describe how they went all out. I guess the best way to put it, would be that it was enchanting.

Oh this is going to be just Jim Dandy!!! You did a lovely job here Bob. Good for you, it'll be better for Savanna next year but the boys will really enjoy this.

Hi GRAND BOB, That is so beautiful, you can come round any time to put my lights outside my home. You are so clever and the lights are so pretty, lets hope for a good snow fall. Tamara

Those look really nice. I don't put lights on my house, although I would like to. We put our tree and inside decorations up either the Friday or the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Then I take them down on New Years Day. I've only done outside lights one year and I really liked it but haven't done it since. My husband says no one would see them but us lol. (We live off of the beaten path you might say)lol.

That is your house- I think my husband played that on youtube for me last year. If that is the same house- Wow and way to go. You must really love the holidays. That is great!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey that looks pretty good. We don't have any lights up yet but it's soon coming. I am working on my tree right now. It usually takes me about a week to get it all spruced up. I wrap lights around each limb and...oh well noone needs that whole story! LOL I better get it up. Everyone is tired of walking all around it! LOL Have a great Day!

wow ! the house looks great!! Hope ill be able to do that ! But I dont think ill put lights . i am saving electricity.

Hi Grandpa Bob, Thanks for sharing your wonderful lights with us. They're a real treat to see, and my first of the season. I do love the way you enter into the Christmas spirit, with such enthusiasm. Take care.

Looking good Grandpa Bob. We don't have any lights up yet but when I do I'll post it :) Won't be as much as yours though as we only have a small balcony!~

I don't know how you find the time to do all that, but it looks beautiful. I don't know if I'll get lights on my house, but I have one of those does with lights that I can put out, and yesterday I was in Sears, and they had a buck on sale, and I think I'll get it so now I can have the pair.

Hi Bob really nice lighting arrangement i am sure it will look awesome its Snow around it Well we decorate house with lighting on occasion like wedding, engagement etc Wish u all the Best Take care

Wow your house looks so pretty, I always think it is great how these lights just change the whole character of a house and make it look so happy and welcoming. You have done a good job with it and it looks really smashing. I do not do outside decorations, I just put a few up in the living room and that is it.

You did a great job Grandpa bob, did you do that all by yourself? You really are in the Christmas spirit. I hope I get their soon (Christmas spirit), it is hard for me to do. I spend a lot of time alone, and my family let me spend a lot of time alone. I never tell them how I feel. It hurts sometime. I just keep it to myself. My family never have been that close. Most of the older ones has passed and the younger ones don't have time or care.
