    Ok people...it's not too far off. I'm a big believer in celebrating Thanksgiving before Christmas. Our tree always goes up the Friday after.

    However, I know there are some of you love to get an early jump on it.

    So here we go. Post up your tree builds. This isn't limited to just trees though. ANY decorations...indoor, outdoor, work, Taco....whatever. Post 'em up.

    Per the thread tradition, I will post up our tree from the year before 1st. Once this year tree is up I will post that up too.

    I've already seen a number of houses decorated around town over that last week or so. Some folks are getting an early jump on it.

    Don't get incandescent lights. Get LEDs. You can run a ton of them without issue.

    The 35’ PVC Driveway Arch wrapped with led lights is checked and ready!21AADA71-26C2-4927-9A02-341DE27AEF2D.jpg

    just a few plywood trees to drill out and it’ll be set up time. Our entire block has a house lighting ceremony on Friday! A whole neighborhood of people standing outside each house drinking at every stop! One by one we walk as each homeowner lights their house!
    The original great Christmas light competition!
    Only difference? It’s Wisconsin so we drink spiked egg nog, Jack & cokes, beer or alcoholic beverage of choice. tick tock...Black Friday’s lighting ceremony is closing fast

    Damn you! Look what you made me do! 1C0D029D-99B0-47BE-906E-76689C91C9CF.jpg
    This is all your fault
    232B1A36-FE0A-414A-958E-DE14B039DC17.jpg
    Last count was 5,400 lights , not even counting the 35 foot driveway arch. Also two , 4foot led led trees, 2 candles and toy soldiers my parents put up at their house that I inherited. 2 giant rope light stars, a 300 led snowman, and a airblown helicopter with blue led landing pad!



    Thanks

    lol
