My husband and I are watching one of the movies that we really like at Christmas time - Deck The Halls . It is about feuding neighbors who are always trying to outdo each other and the one is trying to make his house seen from outer space with a light display. do you have neighbors who try to out do your light display? Would you want to have a larger light display?

It sounds like your dad really must have had a nice Christmas display. I am thankful that I am able to do the same for my kids as I have always loved Christmas!

I love that movie! I love almost all Christmas movies and shows though lol. We dont have lots of christmas lights but this is only our 3rd christmas in our own house. Each year we get a little more, but we had to get all of our tree descorations and inside things. Then slowly i will build up my christmas displays! I like it this way too, it gives you something to look forward to being able to watch it grow in pictures as my family grows :) My mom has done the same and he Christmas display inside is incredible, I love visiting on the holdays because it is gorgous. Her outside display is growing every year and I love it. We also like to go for a drive a couple night before Christmas and look at the christmas lights. Although there are not near as many people who decorate big the last few years...I hope it gets better and this year is great!

It is best to build your displays as you are doing. I love the holidays and I love being able to have the wonderful lights up. I also like to go drive to see the lights too. It is always a lot of fun and when we come back, we always have hot chocolate.

I do not have neighbors who decorate. I do not have a light display. I may put trees up on my porch this year, we will see.

I have neighbors who decorate but none who go to that extreme. We will have a nice light display but nothing like his house in the movie.

I've seen some of that movie. It was pretty funny. I don't have neighbors that try to outdo our lights. We usually don't put much lights up because our house doesn't have any outdoor outlets right now. Our neighbors don't put much up either. We live on the main st through town so people don't go too nuts. I'd like to do more eventually.

The movie is funny and it is interesting to see the lengths he goes to in order to have his house seen from space. It teaches a lesson to as to how we can get so caught up in something that we forget what truly matters.

I live in the country, so there is no competition. No one can see or decorations from outer space either. We have started watching a few of the Christmas shows as well.

I live in the country too, but it is still nice to see neighbors with Christmas lights up.
