    While I enjoy Christmas and believe in its true meaning... I don't even really think about it until first weekend in December. WAAAAY too commercialized.

    Its one of those things. If I dont do it now then the lights would have never made it up. Even a few of my neighbors have their lights up. lol

    I usually put mine up on Black Friday. Hopefully my knee will have healed enough for me to climb a ladder.

    My wife was having me put them up the day after turkey day, but since we most likely won't have our keys to the new place till the week after, it'll be a few weeks...
