Since it is the Holiday season I thought I would ask some Holiday themed questions. So here we go.
Do you decorate the outside of your home for the holidays? And if so do you just put up a couple of strands of lights or are you more like Clark Griswold? ;D ;D
-
Typically Clark Griswold, but not this year. This year, it's Christmas with the Kranks style... :o

Put Frosty on top of your house or there will be trouble!! ;D ;D

I am a total Clark Griswold when it comes to decorating my house! My wife is always telling me that we don't need more lights on the house. What?? How can you ever have enough Christmas lights?? ;D ;D
This year I am putting up 10,000 imported Italian twinkle lights. ;D ;D ;D
-
Wife likes simple holiday decorations and I hate fighting with the lights. I seem to always forget to put them out and when I do remember it's cold out...
-
Usually just a couple strands of lights on the front of the house.
-
Used to, not any more. kinda hard to get into the whole Christmas deco thing when it's 95 degrees outside.
-
Not quite the Griswald thing but the wife likes to decorate inside and out
-
Nope, only the inside so far.
-
I don't do much anymore since it is just me now and i live in an appartment..
-
Nope, only the inside so far.
You have got to start decorating the outside too. It makes you feel very manly to turn the 10,000 strands of lights on every night! :D :D ;D ;D
-
We are out in the middle of nowhere so we don't decorate and with 8 cats, 4 dogs, horses, fish and all the local wildlife my guess is all that electricity mixed in would be bad. Probably make a great video, but what a mess.
-
Compared to the rest of the cul de sac, we're the Griswolds, with cut out reindeer and Santa in a sleigh in the yard, along with Angels and trees. Several strings of lights on the house, lit stuff in the windows. But, then again, out of 9 houses, 4 of which do nothing, it's easy to be Clark Griswold. Plus, some of our cut outs have bitten the dust.

I decorate with a couple of strands of lights and a wreath on my door. It's not like anyone is going to see them anyway. lol
-
I'm somewhat in between. I put up a lot of lights and relearn how I did it the following year. My wife and I made our wreaths studded with wine corks. You start with a straw wreath and stud it with old wine corks in which you insert a toothpick dipped it gle where the corkscrew went. They look pretty cool. My son once needed stuff to bring to art class. One of the things mentioned was wine corks. We sent him off to school with a sack of about 500 used wine corks. I'm surprised they didn't send child protective services to the house. ::)
-
Since I spent too much time in Hawaii, I'll be setting up my lit palm tree, for Christmas, this year. (I'm pretty sure this tree came from an old Corona display, and I usually set it up when I'm BBQing "Cheeseburgers in Paradise," with friends.) Yes, I've got the plates for the cheeseburgers, just like the ones that Jimmy Buffett sells for $35.

Nope, we keep it simple
-
Yes, Pretty much just lights
-
That's a bute Clarke! No lights on the outside...but lots "homey" stuff around the door. The inside however is all decked out Baltic European style.
-
Just a few on the house we like to build a float for the electric light parade in CG our comany employees have a great time as do we.

-
First post. Looking forward to hear about the classnext weekend. Who is going to be there?
-
Somewhere in-betwwen
-
Clark W. Grizwald BABY!!!!!!
-
No I'm not into the whole commercial glitz
-
We decorated the heck out of our house in Hawaii, but not here. Too windy.
-
Not quite Clark, but we have (18) 30' to 40' palms that I wrap with lights.
-
Just the basics...
-
Nothing on the outside... we are very Grinch like on the outside, green and furry. But very festive on the inside of the house and the people!
-
I am Clark Griswold,
Holloween is even better than Xmas
-
Yes I put up light. Last year about 100 strings of lights on the house and yard
-
Inside some times....

Since it is the Holiday season I thought I would ask some Holiday themed questions. So here we go.
Do you decorate the outside of your home for the holidays? And if so do you just put up a couple of strands of lights or are you more like Clark Griswold? ;D ;D
Somewhere inbetween
-
I do decorate for the holidays have more than e couple of strands but not the griswalds either
-
I don't decorate for the holidays but if I were to do so it would just be a few strands of lights.
-
Nope
-
No lights...but will do the Jack-O-Latern every once and a while....
-
A couple of strands.
-
outside pretty much stopped when the kids were grown and moved out
-
A tree from the forest and a wreath from the extra boughs, thinking of an outdoor Nativity this year, but just found a 20 inch by 5 foot airtank along with two stainless steel 40 gallon watter tanks. Wonder how the Holy family would look building smokers and grills!!
-
We put a tree up that is about it
-
I used to go Griswald but the last few years its just been some strands
-
No, I don't decorate the out side of the house. I just do the inside.
-
Yes, I decorate outside for Halloween and Christmas. Enough lights to be seen from the end of the road.
-
Not one for decorating the house.
-
in between
-
I can't see the outside from the inside so we only decorate the inside. Oops, did I miss Christmas this year.
-
Just a few strands around the front of the house.
-
Definitely not Clark Griswald, but I do try to make my house one of the best in the neighborhood. Simple goes farther than people realize.
-
I am Clark Griswold, just a bit more.
-
I'm not real big on the holidays, so I don't do any decorating.
-
Clark Griswold
-
We do decorate and that is Mr Griswold to you.
-
We decorate for Christmas. We also say "Merry Christmas." Not too heavy on the lights though.
-
No. Scrooge here. I do fly Ol Glory though.
-
Most Definitely: We have Halloween setups, Thanksgiving, Nightmare before Christmas, Christmas, and new years sets... (A whole 8X8 Shed dedicated to decorations)... We actually have 3 sheds: a 6X6 (General, Mostly Weed Killer), 8X8 Decorations, and a 12X12 (Construction shed).
-
Not too much anymore. A couple of years ago I got into a "merge" point and took down about 4000 lights with the snowblower before I realized what was happening and could get the damn thing shut down. I still have bits of green wire, plastic and wire everywhere. 8)
-
Usually not at all, our family is out of town, so we travel. This year Florida
-
We decorate for the holidays, but because I still live in the house, we don't go all the way to Griswold.
-
Wife decorates I just send boys into attic and storage to get decorations out
-
I trim all the angles on the outside with white light.
-
Wife's job. Less is more for me.
-
Im a very traditionalist. I got the multicolor boarder around the whole place. Then I got the icicles along the front (LED). I also have a couple of those spiral trees in the yard. This year, added one of those inflatable things.....Mickey Mouse.
-
No
-
Always decorate mildly.
-
Not much decorating... of which the wife reminds me every year! :-)
