Well here it is April 25th and I finally took down my Christmas lights! I know what you’re thinking…really?, what took so long? Well frankly I thought I was getting a head start on this year! No, but seriously, every time I wanted to it would snow and I wasn’t really keen on putting up [...]

I know it’s almost the end of January and I noticed that I’m the only one in my neighborhood with my Christmas lights still up on the house. Honestly, I have been waiting for the snow to melt so I don’t have to put up the ladder in the snow. But is there really a [...]

17 Houses Decked Out for Christmas

Cameron Simcik — Tue, 11 Dec 2012 15:00:18 +0000

No matter what the holiday, we always love getting extra festive. It's not like we need an excuse to wear awful Christmas sweaters or take part in a harmless snowman prank, but doing that stuff during the season makes us look a little less crazy. The season also provides the perfect excuse to go way overboard in the decorating department.

Where Are All The Holiday Lights?

One of my favorite things to do during the Holidays is to check out the Christmas lights. When we kids were growing up our house was the “Griswald House”.

John Storm is a lucky man. Most people who move into a new neighborhood and promptly set up an insane Christmas light show set to 'Gangnam Style' would not be very popular.

That's sincerely Gangnam Style.

Since November 25th I have been enjoying my neighbor’s Christmas lights across the street. Nice tight lines, a few lighted ornaments in the front yard. Nothing really over the top. Just nice. Until last night! I think Santa is either dead or barfing in the front yard! Poor guy. Oh well, have a Merry Christmas!!!
