Do your neighbors go nuts with the christmas lights?

I so agree with the previous entry. Whatever people put up is wonderful. Big, little, gaudy, simple. It's an expression of their joy of the season. So, not everyone is a decorator or has a good eye. What does it matter. It's their way of celebrating and it's fun for everyone to see. My favorite thing about the holidays is the lights. Driving around and looking at lights is my favorite thing to do during the holidays. I'm happy so many people still decorate. And, yes, I decorate as well. No matter what my budget each year, I get lights and decorations out.

LOL!! That is funny! I have seen a few people in my apt complex with lights out the butt. I just have a sign and a bow on my door. I love Christmas, but some of these people are just ridiculous. Someone should tell them the truth. It's too much!

my block has very few lights on it.  I dont have any because i live by myself and nobody will be coming over to see the lgihts

Some of my neighbors have lots of lights but nothing that is too tacky.  The houses all
look very nice.

My next door neighbor has one of those blow up decorations on her lawn that I need
to keep my puppy away from .... I guess he didn't like it -- attacked it the first day.
Thank goodness he didn't pop it -- LOL

I usually go all out with my Christmas decorations each year.  I love to decorate.  Unfortunately, I'm not able to put up very much this year because I just can't afford to.

no neighbors now, I am sort of homeless, but at my moms in the country

Not with lights, but I have one neighbor that has at least a dozen lighted blowups and stuff in her yard. I am not talking about a nativity set either. I mean just random stuff, like an angel, then beside that a Santa.......her yard looks a sale display.

Not really but I actually love the lights and all the festive decorations.  I wish my neighbors would be more festive to be honest because it's so beautiful to look at.  And I just love to see my daughter's expression everytime we pass by an overly festive house.  There is nothing wrong with that, it makes her happy to see her happy!

My neighbor went all out every year with lights.  I did lights too for Christmas.

[alwaysinstyle]

oh yeah.i actually love it!!!

I just wish a neighbor or two would go nuts with the Christmas lights. I love Christmas lights.  I guess it is the child in me.  But I was so disappointed this
year because there were hardly any lights put up in our neighborhood.  Oh well, maybe next year.

Not so much anymore. Like Halloween, Christmas has gone down the toilet as far as decorations go. Kids these days are too much into facebook and themselves to want to go outside and decorate something.

Absolutely!  I live in an enclosed cul-de-sac and each year every neighbor tries to outdo the other.  I don't know if there is a cash prize competition somewhere that I don't know about or what but it gets just crazier each year.

I have a few lights up outside. They border the fence, garage door, and window. I like things to look neat and organized. The neighbors a couple houses over put lights all over everything. The colors don't match and it looks like a jumbled up mess. I do like to drive around with the kids and look at the lights though. We pick out which ones are our favorites. It's nice.

Live in Apt., so most of the people didn't really have anything outside of their apartment!!
