cycoguy Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 ha! Sometimes its great living with just my pops! No lights, no tree, no hassle! Quote
Kitcat Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 I could care less about the lights. Less $$ going to NV Energy!!! Plus, I usually have to assist if Mark can't get a buddy to be his spotter. No one on our street has their light up. Bah Humbug!!! Quote
~JILL~ Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 All our kids are grown and gone with families of their own. If they want lights and trees they can do it at their house and we will visit them. No mess no fuss SOOOOOOOOO Much easier!! Quote
sand chick Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 I agree!! I did the lights thing... the tree thing.... my kid is grown.. if Mike wants tree and lights and decorations for his kids.. he can have at it!!! Hey we need to add him to the smiley list!! Quote
vegas style Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 im the the dark house on my block. not sure what happened this year but my neighborhood is lit up. thought i might put a red light bulb up.......... but no thats to much work! Quote
1BADYFZ Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 Damm people, atleast a tree.. It's not that much of a hassle IT makes the house smell fresh.. And yes, I did the tree and lights..But I still have kids.. Quote
jorgeloco Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 my kids are grown and out of the house but the wife insisted in having a x-mas tree and lights so I compromise. "I will get the tree and you put the lights on the house and the tree" she agreed do off to homo depot to find the cheapes tree possible. wow that was a lot of work some get me a beer Quote
FireKracker Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 WOW, I am feeling very sad for you guys..... Doesn't any one care about tradition anymore???? It's Christmas!!!! I suppose we should also take "In God we trust" off our currency.... Both of my kids are adults (18 and 20) and I am proud that they both have the Christmas spirit!! Quote

r8r family Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 Cmon guys christmas lights make the kids in the n-hood happy. They call my house the Griswald house. Just hire someone to pack it back up thats the worst part. :shout: Quote

RAGDOLL MX Posted December 16, 2009 Author Posted December 16, 2009 Here's my lights... I'm the house on the right: that is soooo awesome! i got my lights and tree up and my shopping done! Quote
OGP Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 Here's my lights... I'm the house on the right: I think next yr Im going to steal this Ditto idea. My neighbor goes all out with his light setup. And this idea would work perfectly for me. Quote
desertskyz Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 I have lights around my house, in my palm tree, and around my garage door. also have the tree up with lights (no decorations) and a couple of decoration in the house. I used to go all out with little villages, candles, pillows, towels. etc. Screw it now. I've got a 70 to rebuild. Quote
Just Mike Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 Stand your ground Jodi, dont let "Mr. Grumpy Grinch pants Mike" AKA Mr "Happy Holidays" keep you from enjoying the Christmas spirit!! deep down, we both know Mike is a softie...LOL.... and "MERRY CHRISTMAS" Mike!!! If she wants Xmas cheer I will just send off to your house. LOL I am sure she wouldn't mind. Quote
Kitcat Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 (edited) Our neighbors around the corner put red lightbulbs in their garage lights. Now their house looks like a cat house. Or maybe it is a cat house!!! I have a cat house, but it's really just a house with 5 cats in it! Edited December 17, 2009 by Kitcat Quote
Kitcat Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 We used to get a real Christmas tree until we got Monkey (our dog) and he peed on it (and the presents below). What fun that was to discover, while passing out gifts on Christmas! Quote
