Very nice pictures of your yard decoration. I will start tomorrow with putting up the lights for this year. I decided to go for LEDs rather than regular bulbs, hope I won’t be disappointed, after I read now that you compared them with your neighbor’s and found them dim.

[...] (well, expect maybe shopping for a Christmas gift). I love the smell of the Christmas tree, all the Christmas lights around the neighborhood, how excited our kids are about Santa coming, drinking eggnog, listening to [...]

My Santa hat was photoshopped in. It seemed like the popular thing to do with everyone on Twitter. Next time I’ll do a real hat.

Further down the road, there were houses that went all out. I haven’t had the time to take their photos. I think I’ll need to bring my tripod. I couldn’t keep still while taking these night shots.

hey Rudy,
Man, you go all out on Christmas lights… even the new-fangled blow up stuff! Very cool.
I used to use the icicle lights (and still love them) but this year switched to colored LED lights. I agree that as of last year the LEDs weren’t very good, but this year they’re better (at least in my opinion, but still not quite the same). We still have our two reindeer with the old-school white lights, and the inside Christmas tree still has our old lights (my wife says the inside LEDs don’t cut it for the tree), so we still spin the electric meter a bit, but not as much as you I think.
Some fellow 1st-grade parents and we took a group of kids caroling around the neighborhood last night (cold!), which was a first ever. I was impressed by how many people put up lights this year. Maybe it’s different in our neighborhood. I just glad that at least some people still put up lights.
Anyway, Merry Christmas Mr Griswald!

For Christmas lights, they’re not much brighter. I made the comparisons with my neighbors’. It’s really dim in comparison. Regular bulbs are brighter.

But, I might change next year to LED for the hedges because it seems the regular bulbs trips the GFCI safeguard switch a lot. Hopefully then they’ll have much brighter versions.
